Building record MDR13631 - Spondon Wood Farm, Dale Road, Dale Abbey

A farmstead, built before 1835. The farmhouse is built of red brick in random bond, with dentillated eaves beneath a gabled concrete tile roof. It is two-and-a-half storeys tall. There is a central gabled porch flanked by early twentieth century side-hung casements. Some contemporary farm buildings survive, albeit altered. The farmstead is named on Sanderson's Map of 1835. The farmstead is unlikely to date to before c.1700 (the "brick threshold"). (1)
