Description
These are a pair of early 18th-century houses built of squared rubble stone with a stone-tiled roof, coped gables, and end-wall stacks. They have two and a half storeys and a three-window front. The windows are flush bead-moulded mullioned, with flush quoins and a dripcourse above each floor. Flush voussoirs are positioned above the dripcourse over each main floor opening. Dormer gables feature two-light windows with hoodmoulds. The first floor has a range of three-light, two-light, and three-light windows, repeated on the ground floor which also includes a plank door in a bead-moulded surround with a hood supported by brackets on either side of the centre window. An extension to the left, originally a two-window range, is also stone-tiled and features unmoulded upper two-light windows and a pair of two-light cyma-moulded mullion windows below. A 20th-century door is set into a deep recess. The houses are believed to have been built in connection with Springfield House, the parish workhouse and school, which was constructed in 1729.
