Springs Cottage

Springs Cottage is a small detached house dating back to the 15th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is timber-framed and built on a limestone base. The walls are a mix of random rubble limestone, roughcast, and rebuilt artificial stone, and the roof is covered with replacement concrete tiles. The house is single-storey with an attic, and originally had a three-room plan.

The front of the cottage features small timber framing on a limestone plinth, with a mix of 20th-century casement windows. There’s a long, combined raking roof dormer and an attached gabled porch, both dating to the 20th century. The west end has a roughcast gable with casement windows, two to the attic and one to the ground floor, and visible projecting purlin ends. The east end shows a random rubble gable on a rendered plinth, with a 20th-century attic casement. The back of the cottage has a mix of timber framing and random rubble, a clay plain tile coping, and scattered 20th-century windows, along with two 19th-century casements towards the centre. A partly-glazed plank door is situated to the left, and there are also raking roof dormers.

Inside, three cruck roof timbers remain. One exhibits an arched brace to a visible cambered collar, while the others are largely concealed.
