Spring Gardens And Barn Attached

Spring Gardens is a row of cottages with an attached barn, likely dating from the 18th century. The buildings are constructed from rubble stone and feature a stone-tiled roof with three ridge stacks and an additional stack at the west end. They are two storeys high and have original flush bead-moulded windows.

The east end wall includes a door to No. 1 with an original single light window to the left, while the first-floor window has been altered. The south front shows a section on the right with an upper original single light window and three-light windows above two doors, an original three-light window, and a stone-tiled lean-to. The central section, No. 5, projects and appears to have an altered lean-to cart-entry that has been raised to a flat roof, featuring casements on both floors.

To the right, there is a double-fronted section with flush quoins on the left, an upper original two-light window and a casement, a lower original two-light window, and a door in a chamfered surround with a 20th-century casement. The left end section has a lower two-light recessed cyma-moulded window with a drip course above and two pairs of upper casements.

The west gable end includes dove openings above a two-window range of recessed two-light cyma-moulded windows, with a single hoodmould over the upper pair and hoodmoulds over the blocked lower pair. The north side of the cottage range features, from the left, a stone-tiled lean-to, a three-light ground floor window, a brick lean-to with a four-pane window above, a three-light window over a four-light window, and flush quoins leading to the right section with a single light and a three-light window above another three-light window, along with a blocked door in a chamfered surround.

The barn wing running north includes, from the left, a door set in a timber-lintel recess, an under-eaves dormer with a casement, a single light, a casement pair in a bead-moulded surround with a hoodmould, a recessed cyma-moulded single light under a drip course, a triple casement, and a door in a flush bead-moulded doorcase with a dripmould, along with another triple casement. The north gable of the barn is hipped. Notably, No. 5 contains an unmoulded Tudor-arched fireplace.
