Description

Spring Lodge is a two-storey building with a three-bay symmetrical front elevation that is recessed in the center. It features incised stucco, sandstone rubble, a hipped slate roof, and red brick chimneys. The layout is a double-pile plan with extensions at the rear. The central recessed bay contains an entrance with overlights under a canopy supported by consoles and a later lead roof. Above the entrance, there is a sash window on the first floor, while the bays on either side project forward, each with one window per floor and oversailing eaves. The ground floor has 12-pane sash windows, and the upper floor features 9-pane sashes. The rear of the building includes a studded wooden door, an outshut, and a later extension, with some windows altered.

The forecourt is enclosed by impressive stone walls and railings. To the left, there is an unusually tall sandstone pier with a pyramidal coping stone, a low wall, and gate piers. The gate and railings have pine cone finials, and the stone pier on the right side has been partially cut down.

The plan form of the building remains largely intact, with rooms generally featuring 19th-century panelled doors. The front rooms on the ground floor have contemporary window shutters and simple plaster cornices. There are also two brick tunnel-vaulted cellars.
