Description
Greenbank is a villa located on North Street in Annan, dating from the earlier to mid-19th century, with significant additions and alterations made in the late 19th century. The building is two stories high and has a three-bay layout, featuring a distinctive glazing pattern and set on a square plan with additional projections, positioned on steeply sloping ground. It is constructed from red sandstone ashlar, which includes a base course, a dividing band course, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course.
On the west elevation, there is an off-centre right door with a columned and corniced doorpiece, accompanied by rectangular fanlights. To the left, a full-height canted window is present, while the bay to the right features regular fenestration. The south elevation showcases a full-height canted window at the outer left corner, with windows on each floor in the central and right bays, plus a small additional window to the right of centre. There are also two recessed bays from a service block on the outer right. The north elevation includes single-storey additions at ground level, and the east elevation features a late 19th-century two-storey square projection at the centre.
The villa is fitted with timber sash and case windows, which have two-pane lower sashes and lozenge patterns on the upper sashes at ground level, while the first floor has small-pane windows. A long wallhead ashlar stack serves as a tablet on the side elevations, and the roofs are covered with grey slate and have a piended design.
The interior was not inspected in 2001.
In the grounds, there are three channelled ashlar gatepiers at the southeast corner, which feature cornices and squat conical finials, along with decorative wrought-iron gates and gateposts. Additionally, there is a lodge built around 1900, which is a single-storey mock timber-framed gate lodge. It is made of squared and snecked red sandstone with chamfered arrises and has mock timber-framing on the gableheads. The lodge has a two-bay design to the southeast, with a gable at the wallhead, modern glazing, swept eaves with barge boarding, red clay ridge tiles, and grey slates.
