Nos 8 and 8A Spring Gardens, including area railings

Nos 8 and 8A Spring Gardens are two stepped, terraced houses, now combined into a single dwelling. They date from the 18th century and are constructed of unpainted stucco, with slate mansard roofs hidden behind battlemented parapets. Each house has a rendered brick stack on its right end. The houses are two storeys in height, with an attic and basement. Each originally comprised two bays, with the right bay set within a large, square-headed recess extending upwards from ground floor sill level. The attic windows are concealed by the parapets. The main windows were originally small-paned, hornless sash windows with margin lights and slate sills; No. 8 retains its original basement window and a front door with a plain fanlight, while No. 8A has an original basement window and a later 19th-century four-panel door with a plain fanlight. No 8 has later sash windows incorporating marginal glazing bars.

A notable feature is an exceptional two-storey veranda constructed of wrought and cast iron. The first floor has two narrow arched openings flanked by two wider, elliptical-arched openings. The ground floor mirrors this arrangement, with a single narrow arched opening framing the door of No. 8, and a single wide opening across the front of No. 8A. These openings are framed by a trellis of scrolled cast-ironwork, with ornate scroll details in the arch spandrels. Similar arches are situated at right angles to the main balcony, one each side of the platform in front of the door to No. 8 and one on the right side of the platform outside the door of No. 8A. Heavy cast-iron scrolls support each end of the balcony. The upper level features intricate cast-iron balcony panels manufactured by the Coalbrookdale foundry.

A later, three-storey stuccoed rear wing with a hipped roof has been added to the rear. The garden front of this wing is stuccoed and features a canted bay, a large tripartite window on the first floor, and a sash window on the top floor, all currently boarded over.

The front railings to No. 8 feature ornate, scrolled cast-iron uprights, while those to No. 8A are simpler. The front railings include two damaged, cast-iron openwork gateposts with gabled tops flanking the steps to No. 8, with iron spearhead area railings on low stone copings that match those of Nos. 5 and 9. The railings continue in front of the steps to No. 8A. The interior of the property is reportedly damaged and inaccessible.
