Description
Greenbank is a house built around 1830, constructed from dressed limestone with sandstone dressings. It features a pantiled roof and brick chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and three bays, with a low plinth and tooled quoins. The central entrance consists of a partly-glazed six-panel door and a patterned fanlight, all set within a wooden porch supported by Doric columns. The windows are 12-pane sashes with projecting sills and wedge lintels, and there is a 20th-century French window to the right of the porch. The eaves are finished with a wooden cornice, and the hipped roof has swept eaves. There are lateral stacks with stone top bands on both sides of the building. At the rear, there is a central round-arched 16-pane stair window with a radial head, flanked by two 16-pane sashes. A late 20th-century rear addition is present but is not considered of special interest.
