Greenhill

Greenhill is a house with additions, originally a villa dating to the 18th century, later extended to accommodate a former County School. The villa is at the right end and is constructed of white painted stucco with a slate roof featuring deep eaves. A chimney that once stood on the ridge has been removed. The villa has two storeys and a basement, and is characterised by small paned sash windows. The asymmetrical front elevation has four bays; the right bay is gabled and incorporates a tiny attic sash window, a 12-pane first floor sash window, and a 16-pane ground floor sash window. To the left of this, there is an arched staircase window with radiating glazing bars, positioned over a flat-roofed, enclosed stuccoed porch with a cornice and blocking course, which may have been added at a later date. Plain, square-headed doorways and windows are located on each side wall. A two-window range with 12-pane sashes is situated to the left. The right end wall has two bays and features deep, overhanging eaves. Some 20th-century plastic windows are visible on the first floor in the centre and on the ground floor to the right of the centre. A large, canted oriel window is located on the ground floor to the right, also featuring plastic windows. The rear elevation has two bays and also incorporates plastic windows.

The additions for the school to the left are stuccoed. These comprise a hipped, two-storey main block, a gabled centrepiece, and a single-storey, gable-ended hall block to the left. The main block has two long windows on each floor, all with plastic glazing. Two raised bands are present at the upper level, one at the eaves level of the original villa and the other slightly higher, at the eaves level of the added block; both are broken by windows. Sunk panels are located below the first-floor sills, and a band above the ground-floor windows has labels dropping from it. The gable-ended block to the left has two large cambered-headed windows with 20th-century glazing, and a blank roundel in the gable.

The house's plan is unusual, suggesting that the original entrance was in the west end wall, marked by a window, although there is no sign of exterior stairs. The spine passage runs east-west, with arches spanning it, and a small dog-leg staircase is located to the north with stick balusters and turned newels, which are slightly bulbous. Some original panelled doors and shutters remain, principally in the rear southwest room, which may have once been open to the spine passage; the flanking columns, present wall and door at the entrance could therefore be later additions. A bay window has panelled shutters, and a 19th-century fireplace with large console brackets is also present. The north rooms are small and have panelled shutters. An arch in the spine passage features two small, carved wood, Jacobean-style corbel figures. The interiors of the later school buildings are unremarkable.
