Blenheim is a historic home located near Spring Mills, in Campbell County, Virginia. It was built about 1828, and is a 1+12-story, five-bay, single-pile, frame I-house dwelling on a brick basement. It is sheathed with beaded weatherboards and covered with a standing-seam sheet metal roof broken by three pedimented dormers. The interior features elaborate, provincially conceived but skillfully executed, woodwork. Also on the property is a contributing late-19th century frame stable.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, with a boundary increase in 1994.[1]
