Graymount House, (Hazelwood Integrated College), 70 Whitewell Road, Belfast, BT36 7ES

Graymount House is a detached five-bay two-storey symmetrical Classical rendered house built around 1835 to the designs of Thomas Jackson. It was originally designed as a residence for William Gray, a linen merchant and founder director of the Ulster Railway Company. The building is now used as the administrative offices for Hazelwood Integrated College and is Grade B+ listed.

The house is positioned on an elevated site within the college grounds on Whitewell Road. A two-storey two-bay extension to the west was added around 2000.

The roof is hipped slate with lead hips and ridge, featuring a raised moulded parapet to the north, south and east elevations. A roof lantern with hipped roof sits to the west. Projecting chimneys rise from the north and south hips with rectangular insets, projecting stone coping and five octagonal stone pots. Cast-iron and uPVC guttering and downpipes serve the building. The entrance portico to the east has a flat roof with raised cornice moulding.

The east elevation is the principal five-bay two-storey symmetrical frontage. An Ionic entrance portico stands on a plinth with stone steps leading to the doorway. The rusticated rendered ground floor has a projecting plinth and smooth banded string course, while the first floor is smooth rendered. Coupled smooth rendered pilasters flank the elevation and entrance portico. Openings are square-headed with moulded surrounds and overhanging sills. Ground floor openings have projecting moulded hoods. Windows are six over six panes in single-glazed timber sliding sash frames. The entrance door is square-headed with a fanlight and side-lights with raised apron panel, flanked by pilasters. Double-leaf timber panelled entrance doors with decorative scrolled iron insets are set within a moulded surround.

The south elevation displays four bays across two storeys, with a lower two-bay two-storey extension separated from the main building by a narrow glazed flat-roofed link block. The ground floor is rusticated rendered with a raised plinth and string course; the first floor is smooth rendered. Smooth rendered clasping pilasters flank both ends. Openings are square-headed with moulded surrounds and stone sills. Windows match the east elevation pattern of six over six panes in single-glazed timber sliding sashes.

The west elevation shows the two-storey four-bay extension with rusticated render to the ground floor and smooth render to the first floor, featuring projecting sill and eaves courses. Square-headed openings have smooth rendered surrounds. A hipped roof glazed lantern sits above, with the return face of clasping pilasters and moulded cornice at the parapet of the original house's west elevation visible, though much is obscured by the recent extension.

The north elevation mirrors the south elevation in arrangement, with a four-bay two-storey elevation to the original house separated by a narrow glazed flat-roofed link from a lower two-bay two-storey extension.

Materials throughout consist of natural slate roofing, cast-iron and uPVC rainwater goods, rendered walling, and six over six timber sliding sash windows.

The house sits in an elevated position within Hazelwood Integrated College grounds, which contains several other twentieth-century single and two-storey buildings. A hedge forms the southern boundary, with parking and road access to the north and east, and a tree-lined boundary to the west.
