Springhill House, Catherine Street, Limavady, Co Londonderry, BT49 9DB

Springhill House is a two-storey, four-bay rendered house in the Georgian style, located on Catherine Street in Limavady. Built circa 1840 (though documentary evidence suggests a building has occupied this site since at least 1699), it represents a key landmark in the town's architectural character and entrance sequence.

The building faces north, sitting approximately one metre above street level behind a rendered boundary wall topped with modern aluminium railings and a small garden. It is topped with a hipped natural slate roof. The main entrance is positioned in the second bay from the west end, featuring a segmental fanlight with three crude modern mullions and supported by four timber Doric columns. A panelled door (detailed to appear as two) is flanked by four-pane side lights between the pairs of columns.

The façade displays triple sash windows throughout—an unusual feature in the area. The ground floor has 20-pane sashes whilst the first floor has 14-pane examples, though their spacing along the facade is imperfect. Two chimneys rise from the ridge: one at the apex of the east hip and one placed centrally. The side wall facing east onto Roemill Road contains no windows.

A rendered wall encloses a small courtyard to the rear. A substantial hipped-roof extension projects along approximately half the rear façade, matching the main building in width and height. All rear windows retain Georgian sashes with stone cills, varying in size and distribution. Three chimneys appear on the extension's ridge, with a unified appearance created by the hipped roof returning from the main building. Four triple sash windows—two on each floor—overlook the valley on the western side, where wooded ground falls steeply towards the River Roe.

The building has a documented history extending back before the construction of Roe Bridge. It was shown on the 1699 map occupied by James Boyle. The Boyle family's original house on this site was sold when John Boyle built Bridge Hill in 1732. Following significant internal modernisation and conversion to flats in 1993, the building served as a police station from the mid-20th century until the mid-1970s. The external envelope remains well preserved, though modern renovations to the fanlight and garden railings detract from the original detailing.
