Description
Greenhill is a later 19th-century villa, built after 1865, featuring two storeys and a raised basement. It has a rectangular plan with three bays and a gabled roof, constructed from whinstone and sandstone rubble, accented with polished sandstone margins and dressings, and a base course.
The southwest (main) elevation showcases a broad pilastered and corniced door at the center, which is a half-glazed door topped with a plate glass fanlight and a narrow round-headed window above. To the outer right, there is a tall gable with a full-height canted window, a half-piended roof, and a dividing cornice. On the ground left, a slightly advanced corniced tripartite window features roll-moulded arrises and a gable that breaks the eaves above, with a round-headed window on the first floor and a blank plaque above it.
The northeast (rear) elevation includes the main block with a lower jamb offset to the left, although there are unsympathetic additions present. The main elevation has plate glass timber sash and case windows, while the rear features 12-pane windows and a stair window with border glazing. The roof is covered in grey slate with lead flashings, and it has squat, corniced ridge stacks with circular cans. A square downpipe, decorative rainwater hopper, and other fixtures are retained.
The interior was not seen in 1993.
There is a simple cast-iron balustrade that terminates with an ashlar die featuring a plaque motif and a segmental cap to the south of the main front, above the lawn. Stone steps lead to the lawn on both the right and left, with a rendered garden storage area below.
The boundary wall is made of whinstone rubble with harl-pointing and quartz boulder coping, curving toward the gate. The vermiculated piers have stop-chamfered arrises and pyramidal caps, with "Greenhill House" carved into the pier on the left.
The gates are light early 20th-century Glasgow-style cast-iron gates.
