Woodmans Cottage

Woodman's Cottage is a house dating from 1695, with earlier origins, located on Ings Lane in Spaunton. The property features a stack dated 1701 and underwent re-roofing and modernization in 1913. It was built for Robert or Richard Bowes and is constructed of coursed rubble limestone on earlier footings, with roughly tooled quoins and a slate roof with brick stacks.

The cottage has a 3-cell, hearth-passage plan with an outshut and is a single storey with an attic, presenting a three-window front. The central left entrance is a 20th-century board door set in a quoined moulded surround with a Tudor-arched head. The ground-floor windows are large-pane casements, consisting of two lights to the left of the door and three lights to the right. Above the door lintel, there is a plain surround of one blocked original window. The attic features gabled half-dormers with two- and three-light casements that correspond to the ground-floor windows. All windows have painted stone sills and painted stone lintels on the ground-floor windows. The date is inscribed on the door lintel, and there are end and left of centre stacks, with the right end stack featuring a datestone inscribed "RB 1701."

Inside, the original house plan remains intact. In a cupboard under the stairs in the outshut, traces of the original stone spiral stair are visible. A replacement door has been rehung on the original iron strap hinges, which display zigzag and St Andrew's cross motifs.
