Description
Three Gables is a late 17th century building that has been altered and restored. It is attached to Spring Hill House and stands two and a half storeys high, constructed of rubble with a stone tile roof. The left gable end features an ashlar chimney with moulded capping. The building has three gables; the two left-hand gables contain single light upper windows with drips, while the right-hand gable has a similar two-light window.
The first floor has irregular fenestration, including one single light window and two two-light mullion windows with drips, alongside a large modern three-light window. On the ground floor, there is a single light window to the left, two two-light windows, and two single light windows flanking a modern studded door with Tudor arch panelling. Most of the mullion surrounds are of the rebated chamfer type, typical of around 1700, although one cill dated 1673 can be found inside. The right-hand gable is of the cross-gabled Cotswold type, featuring modern windows and an entrance on the ground floor. The east gable end has a range of two and three-light mullion windows with traces of drips, and the first floor window has a date on the interior cill along with the monogram G & S and "John Smith."
