Description
2-4 Greenhill Park is a double villa built in 1853 by John Henderson. This two-storey, four-bay structure is symmetrical, with each half consisting of two bays, recessed side porches, and service wings. The exterior is made of cream sandstone, featuring stugged ashlar at the front with droved dressings, and squared and snecked stugged rubble with stugged dressings. The ground floor windows on the front are set within round-arched panels, while the first-floor windows are framed with architraves, and there is a decorative eaves cornice.
On the north (front) elevation, there are single windows in each bay on both floors. The entrance features a recessed single-storey rubble porch located in the re-entrant angle formed by the service wings, which have round-arched doorways with droved ashlar reveals, panelled doors, semi-circular fanlights, and tiled vestibules. The service wings at the back are single-storey with a half-piend roof, which is heightened at No 2. The south (rear) elevation is symmetrical, with large patio doors under a relieving arch in the central bays and a single window above. The outer bays have a small bipartite window and two small single windows above, along with two canted dormers. There are secondary doors and single windows in the service wings, with the service wing at No 2 also heightened, featuring bipartite and single windows that break the eaves in the dormers. The east and west elevations include the service wing and entrance porch at ground level, with a single window above the entrance porch and two short coped wallhead stacks at the corners.
The villa has timber sash and case windows with 12-pane glazing. The roof is covered with slate and has piend flashings, four squat corner stacks, and one central stack, with some square tapering moulded cans. The eaves feature a moulded gutter, gutterheads, and brackets.
The interior was not seen in 1992. Surrounding the property, there is a tall rubble wall with semi-circular coping at the rear and sides, a low rubble wall at the front, and cast-iron gates and railings leading to No 4.
