Description
Greenbank Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse located on Helsby Road in Alvanley. It is constructed of brown brick in Flemish bond with pale headers and features a grey slate roof. The building stands two storeys high and has four windows across its long front, which has remained largely unaltered. The entrance door consists of six fielded panels, with the middle panels being narrow and the upper ones now glazed, all set in a moulded case topped with a simple pediment. The lower storey has three 3-light horizontal-sliding sash windows, each with eight panes, while the upper storey features three similar windows. Above the doorway, there is a 16-pane fixed-light landing window. At the rear, there are horizontal-sliding small-pane sashes, and the building is capped with two flush gable chimneys made of brick.
