Greenore, 2 Ancrum Road, Dalkeith

Greenore is a two-storey house with an attic, dated 1913, built in an asymmetrical style. The exterior is harled with red sandstone ashlar dressings, a red brick base course, and red sandstone cills. It has a steeply pitched roof and overhanging eaves.

The north (entrance) elevation is three bays wide, with a lower four-bay wing to the left. The right-hand three bays feature a two-storey canted entrance bay, slightly projecting and breaking the eaves at the first floor with a finialled piended roof. The entrance has a corniced ashlar doorcase inscribed "1913," with a moulded four-centred arched doorway, glazed and panelled door, and an iron bell-pull. A small window is located on each face of the canted bay at first floor level. A three-light window is centrally located at ground level, with a four-light dormer window above. A shouldered chimney-breast rises axially to the left. An advanced gabled bay to the left has two windows at ground level and a two-light window at first floor, with a glazed slit in the gablehead. The four-bay wing to the left has a boarded door and windows in the remaining bays, including a hatch in the bay to the left. A two-light dormer window is located to the left, and a small window is recessed to the far left, with a two-light window on the return.

The south elevation is five bays wide. The central three bays feature a tripartite doorpiece with a glazed two-leaf door, and a roof swept down on corbelled brackets to form a porch between advanced flanking bays. A three-light dormer window is positioned above the porch. Advanced gabled bays are located to the left and right. The left gable has a full-height five-light canted window with a mock-timber-framed gablehead, projected on brackets. The right gable is also projected at the first floor level, with a tripartite window in an advanced panel at ground and first floor levels. A window is located at ground level to the right return. To the outer right are two bays: one with a tripartite window at ground and under the eaves at first floor, and the other with a two-storey canted window breaking the eaves, a cill course at first floor, and a piended roof.

The west elevation has a gabled bay to the left and a blank bay to the right. An inglenook with a half-piend roof projects at ground level to the right of the gabled bay, with two small windows and a shouldered chimney-breast intercepting the skew. A three-light window is at ground level and a two-light window at first floor to the left, with a glazed arrowslit in the gablehead. The east elevation is gabled and blank.

The windows incorporate a variety of glazing patterns, including sash and case windows with plate glass lower sashes and small-pane or leaded glass upper sashes, as well as leaded glass casement windows. Linked brick diamond stacks are present, with harled bases on the north and west elevations and to the left of the south pitch. Gablehead stacks are brick to the east and harled to the east of the service wing. Ashlar detail is present on the shouldered chimney-breasts. The roof is finished with small red tiles.

The interior features panelled doors with brass fittings and doorplates. A tall ashlar chimneypiece is located in the hall, with a decorative moulding, a timber mantelpiece on stone corbels, and a poetic inscription. The drawing room has an inglenook with a decorative surround to the timber chimneypiece and two inglenook lights.
