Description
The house at Greengore dates from around 1600. It is constructed from sandstone rubble, with a stone slate roof. It is a two-storey building with an attic. Large buttresses with offsets are a prominent feature, with three on the north wall and two on the south wall, interrupting the window openings. The windows have an outer chamfer and an inner hollow chamfer; the ground floor windows on the north and south walls have a continuous drip course, while the others have individual hoods.
The north wall has a chimney stack projecting on corbels at first-floor level. To its right, on the ground floor, is a six-light mullioned window, positioned between two buttresses. To the right of the second buttress is a doorway cut into a two-light window. Further right is a blocked chamfered doorway with a four-centred head and moulded hood. The first floor has a two-light window on each side of one of four lights. The gables have copings; the west gable is blank, with a chimney cap, while the east gable has a four-light mullioned window on the ground floor, a ten-light mullioned and transomed window on the first floor, and a three-light mullioned attic window. A blocked narrow, chamfered door surround with a four-centred head is located to the left of the ground floor window.
The south wall features a six-light mullioned window on each side of a later, chamfered door surround, with a four-light window further right, beyond a buttress. On the first floor are a six-light, a ten-light, and an eight-light mullioned and transomed window, the latter partially blocked by a buttress. A blocked, chamfered doorway, which originally formed a lobby entry against a firehood, is located at the far left (west) on the ground floor. Within the firehood, a bressumer remains near the west wall, its chamfer stopped where a sphere once existed. The present fireplace is from the 18th century, shouldered and moulded with a segmental head. Photographs taken in the attic by Ralph Cross reveal trusses with king posts rising from collars, containing mortice holes that may have once held supports for a curved plaster ceiling.
