Spring Hall Farm is a farm in Grewelthorpe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

The farm is centred on Spring Hall, built in 1708 as a yeoman's house; a stone at the rear is inscribed "LJB 1708". The hall was grade II* listed in 1967.[1] When put up for sale in 2015, it was advertised as containing an entrance hall, living room, dining room, breakfast room, five bedrooms and two bathrooms.[2]

The house is built of stone, with quoins, and a stone slate roof with shaped kneelers and stone coping. It has two storeys and eight bays. On the front is a full-height porch containing a doorway with a chamfered surround and a hood mould, above which is a rectangular window with a moulded surround, and a coped gable with shaped kneelers. The other windows are mullioned with two lights. At the rear is a lozenge-shaped initialled and dated stone, and inside there is a large inglenook fireplace.[1]

The farm buildings to the northwest are separately listed at grade II. They are built of stone with a stone slate roof. The western range contains a large threshing barn incorporating a pigeoncote. At the northwest corner is a two-storey cart shed range with a granary above, and to the left is a stable range with five doorways. To the southeast of the barn is a wall linking with an outbuilding.[3]
