Greenshouse Farmhouse

Greenshouse Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 17th century but was largely rebuilt in 1707 for Mary and Isaac Green, as indicated by the datestone MG:IG 1707. The building is constructed of coursed rubble sandstone and brick with stone dressings, featuring stone slab and Welsh slate roofs at the gable ends. The original layout of the house is somewhat unclear, but it was probably a three-unit baffle-entry plan in the 17th century, with the kitchen remaining as a lower sandstone one-unit range. The main house and parlour were mostly rebuilt and raised in brick in 1707, standardizing the layout with stairs located at the rear of the entrance hall accessed through the right-hand porch.

The front exterior showcases a two-storey stone-built former kitchen that has a single-window range with a three-light casement window on each floor. The principal range is two storeys with an attic, featuring a front-facing gable wall and a catslide roof to the right. There are two gabled porches, with the left one made of stone and old brick integrated into the main house wall. A late 19th-century single-storey bay with a gabled roof is situated between the porches and has a large three-light casement window. The right-hand room has a casement window, while the first floor has two three-light casement windows and one window in the attic, all under elliptical window arches. A datestone is positioned at the apex of the gable wall, and there are string courses between the floors. The right-hand return wall has no windows.

At the rear, there are two blocked attic windows, two two-light casement windows, and one fixed mid-19th-century window with margin panels on the first floor. Below the section under the catslide, there is a 30-pane Yorkshire sash window below and a modified conventional sash window above. The rear also features a lean-to. The building exhibits significant stone quoining at the principal angles and has one lateral stack and one ridge stack located at the rear of the main block.

The interior, which was partially inspected, includes two ovolo moulded ceiling beams in the right-hand room and roughly-hewn ceiling beams in the former kitchen. Greenshouse Farmhouse is part of a group with the range of barns located 20 metres to the southeast.
