Description
Spring Lodge is an early 19th-century building that was extended around 1860 by G. Devey. The south end features early 19th-century stucco and a fish-scale slate roof. It has a canted three-sided south end with Gothic tracery on the door and windows on either side, along with a similar window on the west side. The south end extension from around 1860 includes a broad open timber balcony with an ornate half-timbered gable.
Attached to the north end is a roughcast range with a fish-scale slate roof, which features a large gable with half-timbering and tiles at the apex, along with a mullion and transom window that forms a crosswing. To the north of this is a range with a half-dormer above a Gothic open loggia, where the loggia walls and floors are tiled with HS monogrammed painted and encaustic tiles. Further north, there is a painted brick and half-timber range from around 1860 with a plain tile roof. The south side has three large diagonal stacks.
The main front showcases a ground floor bay window with an oversailing half-timbered gable above it, and an oriel window beneath a stepped forward gable apex. The early 19th-century section is likely the 'Tea Room' built over a mineral spring in 1813 by P. F. Robinson for the Countess of Orkney.
