Description
The Springs is a house dated 1627, with the name of John Trip inscribed on the fireplace lintel. The building was partly rebuilt in the 19th century. It features red brick on the front and rear, with the gables rendered and whitewashed, and has a brick chimney on the right. The house is two storeys high and has two bays. The windows are wooden casements with single horizontal glazing bars: there are three-light windows on the first floor, two paired windows with cambered heads on the ground floor to the right, and a canted bay window to the left. The entrance is located in the left side of a 20th-century wing at the rear. Inside, there is timber framing in the gable and rear wall of the left bay, along with a central partition and right truss. The interior features large curved braces and stop-chamfered spine beams. Ceiling paintings that were noted in the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments report have either been whitewashed or removed.
