Description

Greenhaugh Farmhouse and the adjacent farm buildings date from the late 16th century or early 17th century, likely originally serving as a bastle. The farmhouse was remodeled in 1830, as indicated by the initials T.B. (Thomas Bell) above the door. The farm buildings were constructed in the early 19th century. The structure is built of rubble, with some areas massive in appearance, and features partly whitewashed surfaces and slate roofs.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with two wide bays. It has a central boarded door framed by rusticated, tooled, and margined jambs, topped with a stepped keyed lintel. There are 16-pane sash windows set in stone surrounds, and the gables are adorned with corniced stone stacks. To the left, the farm buildings include a large elliptical-arched cart entrance and windows that are part-glazed and part-slatted. The left end of the barn extends back to create an 'L' shaped plan.

On the rear elevation, there is an outshut with various openings, including an elliptical-arched door leading to the byre, which features tooled and margined dressings. Inside the farmhouse, the walls are thick, and internal corbels for a first-floor hearth against the south wall were discovered during recent alterations.
