Description
Springfield House is a parish workhouse and school, dating to 1729, that has been converted into flats (Flats 1 to 8). The building is constructed of rubble stone with a stone tiled roof, coped gables, and end wall stacks. It is arranged in an L-shape and has three and a half storeys.
The main front of the building is tall, with a dripcourse above each of the three storeys, and a six-window range of 2-light, bead-moulded flush mullion windows on each floor. An attic storey is evident, with paired tall dormer gables centrally and at each end, each terminating in a 2-light, bead-moulded mullion window and a hoodmould. The end walls originally had two single-light windows with hoodmoulds on each floor, although the ground-floor east end windows have been blocked. The rear wing has a 2-light window on each main floor to the west side. A large 20th-century stair tower is attached to the rear, along with access balconies serving the flats.
