12 Greenhill Park, Edinburgh

12 Greenhill Park is a villa built around 1865, featuring two stories and a three-bay rectangular plan. It includes a single-storey side pavilion on the north and a lean-to conservatory on the south. The exterior is made of cream sandstone with a stugged ashlar front and droved ashlar dressings, while the rear and sides are constructed from squared and snecked stugged rubble. Notable architectural details include a base course, a cill band course at the first floor, an eaves cornice, chamfered reveals, rusticated quoins, bracketed cills, and ornate cast-iron window guards on the first-floor windows.

On the west (front) elevation, there is a round-arched, keystoned moulded doorway at the center, featuring a consoled cornice, a deep-set panelled door, a semi-circular plate glass fanlight, and a tiled vestibule. Above this, there is a single window at the first floor. To the left, a bay contains bipartite windows on both the ground and first floors, while the right bay has a two-storey canted window with a half-piend roof.

The north elevation has a single-storey flat-roofed side pavilion with a single window at the first floor in the center bay and a central wallhead stack. The south elevation showcases a large timber lean-to conservatory at the ground floor, with a single window at the first floor to the right and another central wallhead stack. The east (rear) elevation features a small single-storey projection, a tall round-arched and keystoned stair window, two canted dormers, and a modern canted conservatory on the side wing.

The villa has timber sash and case windows, with plate glass and small-pane glazing, and four-pane windows at the front, along with some small-pane replacement windows in the canted window. The roof is covered with piend slate and metal flashings, and there are two wallhead stacks. The eaves gutter is moulded.

Inside, the villa boasts a timber stair with a cast-iron balustrade, an ornate cornice in the ground floor dining room, and a tiled fireplace with bolection moulding and a timber surround. The first-floor drawing room features a later elaborately carved timber Adam-style fireplace.

The property is also enclosed by tall rubble walls to the rear and south, which have semi-circular coping. There are two tall coped gatepiers made of stugged ashlar, four original cast-iron gateposts, and turned railings with fleur-de-lis heads.
