Description
Greshop House is a house dating from the later 18th century, with additions made in the earlier 19th century, possibly by the builder John Urquhart of Forres. It is a two-storey and attic, three-bay building with single-storey, two-bay wings projecting from the east and west gables. The main house is harled with tooled and polished ashlar dressings and margins. The central door is flanked by earlier 19th-century projecting rectangular ground floor windows, each with a bipartited design, coped wallheads, and square angle finials. These bay windows are linked by a simple ashlar canopy, supported by four slender pilasters. A continuous decorative cast-iron balustrade, featuring an anthemion pattern, runs above the porch and window bays. Two small, gabled dormers have been added later. The windows elsewhere have lying-pane glazing. Moulded copes adorn the end panelled stacks, and the roof is slate. Various additions have been made to the rear, including a modern sun-parlour to the west.
The rear range is an earlier 19th-century, single-storey, eight-bay structure of harled walls with ashlar margins. A three-bay cottage is incorporated within the western portion, while the eastern portion contains various entrances to service areas. There is an end stack and a slate roof.
The property was once owned by the Gordons of Edintore, Keith, and later passed to the Grants of Peterkin's of Grange Hall, Kinloss, in the mid-19th century. The house was formerly known as Edgefield.
