Description
Springfield House and Tressaith are two dwellings, originally built in the late 18th or early 19th century and altered around 1840 and 1950. The exterior is painted roughcast with a stone cornice, copings, and sills, and has a half-hipped slate roof with rendered ridge stacks. The house follows a double-depth plan and has 20th-century extensions. It is two storeys high, with a four-window front. Around 1840, canted bays were added, featuring French windows with dentilled cornices and margin pane lights. Other windows are late 19th-century sash windows with one-over-one or two-over-two panes. There are 20th-century exterior doors. A lead bell-shaped hopper-head is visible on the right return. The right-hand dwelling retains architectural features from the original construction, including elliptical arch recesses in the ground floor rooms and reeded architraves to the canted bay. It also has six-panelled doors.
