Description

Greenside House is a two-storey with attic, 3-bay, T-plan former manse, dating to 1811. A rear extension was added shortly after, likely around the same time as the stables. Dormer windows were inserted in 1920 by James Gillespie and Scott. The house is constructed of coursed whinstone with contrasting raised ashlar quoins, some droved, squared and snecked whinstone rubble to the sides and rear, and squared and snecked sandstone to the rear extension. Stone mullions and some relieving arches are present.

The south elevation is symmetrical, featuring a deep-set panelled door with a decorative fanlight within a corniced, raised surround. Windows are arranged in the flanking bays with regular fenestration on the first floor. Slate-hung, finialled dormers with smaller windows on returns are positioned over the outer bays.

The west elevation has an advanced gable to the right, with a window at both floors slightly to the left of centre; the first floor window has a relieving arch. A rear wing features a narrow door to the right of centre, a plate glass fanlight, a window to the right by the re-entrant angle at both floors, and a tripartite window to the left at both floors, with a relieving arch to the ground floor.

The north elevation includes an advanced gable at the centre and recessed walls with windows to both floors, those at ground level having relieving arches and some being partially blinded.

The east elevation displays an advanced gable to the left and a rear wing with windows at ground and first floor levels, with a further first-floor window at centre.

Most windows are timber sash and case with a 4-pane glazing pattern, with an exception of a 12-pane pattern in a ground-floor window on the north elevation. Grey slates cover the roof. Coped ashlar stacks are topped with cans, and cast-iron downpipes feature decorative rainwater hoppers and fixings.

The former stables and outbuildings, designed by Robert Hutchison in 1836, form a three-sided stable courtyard to the east of the main building. They are single-storey, slated whinstone rubble structures. A lean-to building adjoins the north face of the boundary wall alongside the east elevation, with a door and small window to the right and a corresponding door to the south, in addition to a garage door in an advanced bay to the left. There is an ashlar skew at the centre and a coped ashlar stack to the left. The boundary wall extends to the east with a door at the centre and a further lean-to building to the outer left, incorporating a door and a door with an adjacent small window (a henhouse opening) to the south. A two-storey, two-bay squared and snecked, piend-roofed rubble building is located to the northeast of the property; its west elevation features a door to the right and a window to the left, with two windows at the first floor. The south elevation has a garage door adjoining a single-storey pantiled building with a glazed door in the garage opening and a modern rooflight. Another single-storey pantiled building adjoins this at the south, with a garage opening to the right, two doors to the left, and a modern rooflight; the south gable end features a coped ashlar skew with a four-hole pigeon loft.

Coped whinstone rubble boundary walls extend to the south and north boundaries, abutting the house on the east and southwest sides. A gateway under a stone lintel is close to the house; a pal stone is situated at the northeast corner of the rear wing, with a large standing stone nearby to the south.
