Description
Greenhill Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dated 1748 as noted on the canopy over the door. It has been altered over time. The building is constructed of brown and yellow brick in Flemish bond, sitting on a plinth of coursed squared sandstone, topped with a stone slate roof. It features a double-depth, four-room plan across two storeys and an attic, with a symmetrical three-window facade. The facade includes a high chamfered plinth, a central doorway with a raised-panel door, a wooden doorcase, and a gabled stone slab canopy supported by large brackets. The tympanum above the door is inscribed with "C H A T C 1748." The windows are sashed, with flat-arched heads and keystones, currently glazed with two panes in the lower leaf and six panes in the upper. The eaves are boarded, and there are gable chimneys.
On the left gable, there is a low segmental-headed window at the ground floor (a casement) and another at the first floor (a sliding sash), along with a small two-light window in the attic. Most of the rear windows have been altered. Inside, the farmhouse features exposed beams and a doglegged staircase leading to the first floor, which has a closed string and turned balusters. The doors throughout the house are fielded panel doors, with those in the front rooms using H-L hinges and those in the back rooms using lug hinges, allowing them to be lifted off. The front rooms also contain very small chamber fireplaces (now blocked) with deep cambered lintels. The purlin roof includes some re-used timbers.
