Churchill House, 1 Church Hill, Morningside, Edinburgh

Churchill House is a villa located at 1 Church Hill in Morningside, Edinburgh, designed by John Henderson in 1842. This two-storey building with an attic features a symmetrical three-bay layout, a basement, and a two-storey service block at the rear. The exterior is made of cream sandstone with stugged ashlar on the front and squared and coursed rubble with stugged dressings on the sides. It has a base course, a banded string course above the ground floor, a projecting band eaves course, and corniced windows at the ground floor.

The south (front) elevation has a slightly projecting pedimented bay at the center, which includes an architraved doorway with a consoled cornice, a panelled door, and a rectangular plate glass fanlight. There is a single corniced window on the first floor. The outer bays contain single windows on both the ground and first floors, with a glazed rectangular dormer on the left bay. To the outer right, there is a secondary single-storey ashlar entrance gateway with a consoled pediment leading to a glazed-in forestair.

On the north (rear) elevation, there is a single-storey square-plan extension to the left, a secondary door in the center bay, and single windows in the remaining bays. The west elevation is two-bay with a projecting bay to the right that features single windows on the ground and first floors within an advanced panel. There is also a single-storey modern conservatory at the ground floor and single windows in the left bay, along with a glazed rectangular dormer. The east elevation is also two-bay, with a projecting bay to the left that has an enclosed half-glazed rubble forestair, a single window on the first floor, and a wallhead stack. The right bay has single windows and a glazed rectangular dormer. The villa features 12-pane timber sash and case windows, a piend and platform slate roof with metal flashings, one wallhead stack, two coped central stacks, and octagonal cans.

The interior was not seen in 1992. Surrounding the property are tall rubble boundary walls with semi-circular coping, coped gatepiers, and a cast-iron pedestrian gate.
