Description

6 Greenhill Park is a villa built around 1865, featuring two stories and a symmetrical three-bay rectangular plan, along with a single-storey service wing and a conservatory. The front is made of cream sandstone with an ashlar finish, while the rear and sides are constructed from squared and snecked stugged rubble. The building has a base course, a band course above the ground floor, overhanging eaves with an eaves cornice, architraved windows with bracketed cills, and consoled cornices above the ground floor windows.

On the north (front) elevation, there is a round-arched moulded doorway at the center, which has a semi-circular fanlight and is topped by a consoled cornice. The door is panelled, leading into a tiled vestibule and hall, with a single window above it on the first floor. The outer bays each have a single window on both the ground and first floors.

The south (rear) elevation features single windows in the right bay and large tripartite windows with timber mullions, which are later alterations, in the ground and first floors of the left bay. There is a single-storey service wing to the outer right with one window.

On the west elevation, there is a large gabled timber conservatory in the right bay, with a single window above it on the first floor. The center bay also has a single window on the first floor, and there are two corniced wallhead stacks.

The east elevation has a single-storey service wing with a half-piend roof in the left and center bays, featuring single windows above on the first floor. There is a tall stair window to the right of center and two corniced wallhead stacks.

The windows are timber sash and case with four-pane glazing. The roof is covered with black slate, featuring piend and platform sections with metal flashings, and there are four wallhead stacks with octagonal cans. The eaves gutter is moulded.

The interior was not seen in 1992. Surrounding the building are tall rubble walls at the rear and sides with semi-circular coping, a low rubble wall at the front, and later cast-iron gates.
