Description

Lower Springfield in Walls Village is a house dating from around 1800, with later alterations and additions. It is a 2-storey and attic building with a near-symmetrical, 3-bay rectangular plan, featuring a gabled single-storey store at the rear that forms an L-shape. The house has harled and whitewashed rubble walls, while the store has harl-pointed rubble walls and timber framing.

The northeast (principal) elevation is near-symmetrical, with a 2-pane fanlight above the entrance door located in the ground centre bay, which is slightly offset to the right. The flanking bays and the first floor have regular fenestration, and there are harled and gabled dormerheads on slate-hung wallhead dormers in the outer bays.

The northwest and southeast gables are blank. The southwest (rear) elevation features the store advanced to the left, with a single loft window centred on the original southwest gable, which has been extended in rubble on the right. The southeast side has timber framing with large vertically-boarded timber doors and a tarred roof. There is a modern single-storey addition in the re-entrant angle to the right, which obscures the centre bay, and it has modern 4-pane glazing in the window to the right. The first floor has windows only in the outer bays.

The house has 4-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, and harled skew-copes along with coped gablehead stacks that have circular cans. Additionally, there is a drystone rubble garden wall enclosing the garden to the northeast, tapering to the north.
