Description
Springhill is a two-storey, three-bay manse rebuilt in 1793, with later alterations and additions. A two-storey, two-bay addition sits at a re-entrant angle to the southeast. The main house is rendered with ashlar margins.
The north elevation features a central panelled entrance door, which has a decorative fanlight within a moulded architrave. The ground floor windows are small-paned and canted, but are not original. The first floor has plate glass sash windows. A band runs along the eaves and lintel. Two piended, canted dormers are visible, as are corniced end stacks. The addition has a tripartite window in its east gable. All roofs are slate-covered.
An addition, marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1857, was constructed. A rubble-built wall extends from the west gable, incorporating a gate with a 1795 lintel. Several outbuildings have piended roofs.
References to Springhill, formerly Wauchope Manse, can be found in the Old Statistical Account, volume XIII, page 606, and in the New Statistical Account, page 426.
