Greenbank, Shaw Street, Blairgowrie

Greenbank is an early to earlier 19th century single-storey and attic, three-bay vernacular house located on Shaw Street in Blairgowrie. The building is constructed of random whinstone rubble, featuring contrasting ashlar quoins and an eaves course, with timber mullions.

The principal elevation faces southeast and is symmetrical, highlighted by a prominent advanced gabled bay at the center. This bay includes a part-glazed timber door and a plate glass fanlight, leading to a band course and a gablehead that resembles an oversized pediment, topped with a block finial. On either side of the central bay, there are windows with canted four-light, polygonal-roofed dormer windows above.

The northeast elevation presents a broad gabled facade with a single window positioned off-centre to the right and another window off-centre to the left within the gablehead.

The northwest elevation, which is the rear, features a central bay with a lean-to sandstone porch that has a part-glazed timber door on the right side and a small window on the left side. There are additional windows in the flanking bays and a lower harled bay, which may serve as an ancillary structure, located to the outer right.

The windows throughout the house are timber sash and case with 12- and 16-pane glazing patterns, and the dormers have top-opening two-pane lights over timber casement windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are brick stacks with polygonal cans. The skew is ashlar-coped with flat skewputts, and the building features plain bargeboarding.

An ancillary building on the property is a slated, rectangular-plan rubble structure with a two-leaf timber garage door.

The gatepiers at the entrance are square-section stone structures with semicircular caps and include a benchmark.
