Description
The Olde Greetham Inn is a former public house built in 1780, with an extension added around 1800. It features coursed rubble stone construction with quoins, stone dressings, and sills, topped by a Collyweston slate roof that has a rendered central ridge and right end stacks, along with a stone left end stack. The building stands 2½ storeys high and is adorned with sash windows.
On the left side, there is a two-storey canted bay with a hipped roof and 6/6 sash windows. A flat-roofed porch with glazed sides leads to a two-leaved door, with a 6/6 sash window above it. The front also includes a tripartite window arrangement of 4/4, 6/6, and 4/4 sashes on both floors, followed by another 6/6 sash window on both floors, and a coat of arms. There are three dormers with 20th-century windows on the roof of the left half, and a 6/6 sash window on the left end. Above the front door, at the main roof cornice level, is a painted inscription that reads 'This is the New Inn 1780'. Inside, there is an 18th-century staircase and a staircase from around 1800. The inn was formerly known as New Inn Farm and The Stretton Highwayman, and it served as an important coaching inn.
