Building record 445/0/47 - Spencer House

Spencer House is a mid-19th century cottage of two storeys and three bays built in local red-brick with a pitched, slate roof. Locally listed building.

{1} Spencer House is a mid-19th century cottage of two storeys and three bays built in local red-brick with a pitched, slate roof and a low blue-brick boundary wall to the front, with modest piers. Possibly built in by Richard Thornton to replace two demolished 18th century cottages, it forms a
pleasant grouping with the adjacent Cowper Cottage (grade II). The windows have eight-over-eight timber sliding sash windows with segmented stone arched lintels. The door has been replaced with a modern equivalent, but has retained a window light above. The small infill section between Cowper Cottage and Spencer House indicates either the previous heights of the demolished cottages, or is a filled in alleyway which served the properties. To the rear an 18ft deep well remains.
