Lodge, Springhill House, 56 Portland Road, Kilmarnock

The Lodge at Springhill House, located at 56 Portland Road in Kilmarnock, dates from around 1840. It is a single-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan building designed in the Greek Revival style, with a later single-storey rear extension. The exterior is finished in painted coursed ashlar with painted dressings, featuring a deeply projecting moulded cornice and a blocking course.

On the west elevation, there are two stone steps leading to a central advanced bay, which is flanked by fluted Doric columns in antis beside the door. Above this, a pediment breaks the eaves. The outer bays have plain rectangular windows with projecting sills. The north elevation features an advanced bay to the right with fluted Doric columns in antis flanking a recessed window, a central linking bay, and an advanced blind bay to the left with a window on the left return.

The east elevation is not visible as of 2001 but includes part of the modern extension. On the south elevation, there is an advanced bay to the left with an angle pilaster and a central window, a linking bay with a window in the centre, and an advanced bay to the right with central fluted Doric columns in antis flanking a recessed window.

The windows are stained 12-pane timber sash and case types. The roof is piended with grey slate, featuring zinc ridging and flashing, which replaced a former flat roof that was concealed behind a low parapet. The building has regularly placed modern ventilation tiles, and the cast-iron rainwater goods are painted to match the building, with a black gutter at the eaves and cream downpipes on the elevations. A small square painted roofline stack has a projecting moulded neck cope and a single black can.

The interior was previously derelict, with the original features destroyed, but it has since been refurbished to resemble the original design and extended to the rear around 1990.
