Greenfield

This is a villa dating from approximately 1833 to 1850, with a late 19th-century conservatory added to the rear. It is constructed of ashlar over brick, with a hipped slate roof and tall ashlar chimney stacks on the sides and rear. The building is L-shaped.

The exterior is two storeys with an attic to the rear, featuring three first-floor windows. Architectural details include horizontal rustication to the ground floor, with the rustication drawn into the voussoirs over the segmental arches of the windows. A tooled band defines the first floor, and the first-floor windows have tooled architraves. There is a plinth to the base. A flight of four roll-edged steps leads to the central entrance, featuring a four-panel door with sidelights and a cambered light, within a porch. The porch has two pairs of Doric columns with an architrave, frieze with triglyphs and metopes, a cornice, and a blocking course. Margin-lights are present in the glazing to the sides of the door. The ground-floor windows are tripartite with 6/6 sashes between 2/2 sashes. The first floor has 6/6 sashes. The eaves are wide and supported by brackets. The rear windows retain 6/6 and 8/8 sashes, and the attic windows have 3/3 sashes.

The interior was not inspected during the listing assessment.

The Park in which the villa is situated had been laid out by 1833 by Thomas Billings as an oval, tree-lined drive with a central park. Between the mid-19th century, it briefly housed a zoological garden. In 1839, Samuel Daukes acquired the development and continued its construction. This development was influenced by the schemes of White and Nash for Regent’s Park in London. It shares a similar design to numbers 37 (Arundel Lodge) and 55.
