Springbank House, Low Askomil, Campbeltown

Springbank House, located in Low Askomil, Campbeltown, dates from around 1835. It is a two-storey house with a raised basement and a three-bay rectangular plan, featuring a two-storey wing that projects to the rear. The principal elevation has a roughcast finish at the basement, while the upper floors are finished with stugged ashlar and have droved and polished ashlar dressings. The side and rear elevations are also roughcast. There is a lintel course above the basement and at the second floor, along with a cornice at the eaves. The windows have ashlar margins and projecting cills.

Access to the entrance door, located at the center of the principal floor, is via an ashlar stair that oversails a basement recess and features a wrought-iron handrail. The stone doorpiece includes pilasters, an entablature, and a block pediment above. The entrance door is a six-panel design with a six-pane fanlight above.

The house has timber sash and case windows, with 16 panes at the basement (including a plate glass lower sash on the left), plate glass on the principal floor, and 12 panes at the first floor and gable ends. The inner entrance door is also six-panel with glazed panels and six-pane sidelights. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are cast-iron gutters and downpipes. The chimney stacks are roughcast and coped, with ashlar ends and various cans at the principal gables, while the wing has a tall roughcast and coped apex stack.

Inside, most of the original fittings remain on the principal floor, including panelled shutters, six-panel doors, plaster cornices, and chimneypieces.

The property also features a summerhouse that is vertically boarded with glazed upper sections. It has a glazed door at the center and a tiled piended roof with cast-iron gutters.

Boundary walls consist of random rubble walls to the east and north sides along Low Askomil, with a harled retaining wall at the rear of the house and drive. Square stugged ashlar gatepiers with droved ashlar cornice and domed caps mark the entrance.
