Description

11 Greenhill Gardens is a two-storey, three-bay L-plan house built around 1850, with a later rear addition from 1880. The exterior is made of cream sandstone, featuring squared and snecked stugged rubble with droved ashlar dressings. Notable architectural details include a base course, bracketed cills, ashlar mullions, and coped stacks with block corbels.

The front elevation has an advanced gabled bay at the center, which features a projecting pilastered and corniced doorway with chamfered reveals. The entrance includes a two-leaf panelled door topped by a rectangular plate glass fanlight. Above the door, there is a tall segmental-arched and keystoned stair window with shaped margins on the first floor. The outer bays have projecting bowed bipartite window surrounds at the ground floor, with a segmental-arched cornice and shaped keystone. On the first floor, a single window just breaks the eaves and is topped with a half-piend roof.

The rear elevation features an advanced bay to the right, which is a single-storey projection with a 1930s bowed bay window. There is also a single-storey projection in the re-entrant angle and flat-roofed outhouses to the right.

The south elevation includes a single-storey flat-roofed garage at ground level and two wallhead stacks. The north elevation has a wallhead stack.

The windows are timber sash and case with 12-lying-pane glazing. The roof is covered with piend slate and has metal flashings, along with three wallhead stacks and one central stack, some of which have octagonal cans.

Inside, the hall has been redecorated by Esme Gordon, featuring plaster cameos of his children over husk garlands. The timber staircase has a cast-iron balustrade decorated with anthemion motifs flanked by palmettes.

Surrounding the property, there is a tall rubble wall at the rear and sides with semi-circular coping, and a low rubble wall at the front with flat coping made of droved ashlar.
