Description
Spa Cottage is a late 18th century and 19th century building that originally served as outbuildings to Spa House. It is constructed of rubble stone and ashlar, topped with stone tiled roofs. The oldest section is located in the center and features a mansard roof, coped gables, and a stack at the north end. This part includes a hipped dormer with 16 panes, a 16-pane sash window on the first floor, and an altered ground floor.
To the left, there is a 19th century coach house with an ashlar front and a stack at the south end. It has three upper sash windows, a raised band, and a ground floor door with large coach doors to the right. To the right of the center, there is a two-storey 19th century range with a coped north gable and a north lean-to. This section features flush cyma-moulded mullion windows, including a two-light window above the door, two-light windows on each side, an additional door and sole light to the right, and a single light on the right end of the lean-to. The building is noted for its group value.
