Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1810, with three-bay south side elevation, porch to front and having bay windows to north and south elevations. Three-bay two-storey block to rear with two-bay two-storey extension, and two-bay single-storey addition to north with porch. Hipped slate roof with brick chimneystack and limestone eaves course. Lean-to slate roofs to rear block and to extension, with rendered chimneystack. Pitched slate roof to north addition with rendered chimneystack. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and limestone sills. Square-headed bay windows, north elevation having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash window with render sills and south having bipartite opening to first floor centre bay with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash window with limestone sill. Round-headed entrance door opening with render surround, cobweb fanlight and timber panelled door. Porch to front of entrance comprising render cornice over square-headed opening with half-glazed timber panelled door, flanked by square-headed sidelights with fixed timber windows and render sills over recessed render panels. Square-profile rendered piers to road entrance with double-leaf cast-iron gates and rendered walls with render copings and plinth courses.

Springville House is enlivened by the cut limestone eaves course and enhanced by the retention of timber sash windows. The decorative focus of the house is concentrated on the doorway, which has kept its cobweb fanlight. The house retains its solid outbuildings and ornate piers, which enhances the setting of Springville House.
