Description
Greetwell Hall is a country house, dating from the late 17th century with subsequent alterations in the early 18th, early 19th and mid-19th centuries. It is constructed of coursed limestone and ironstone rubble, limestone and ironstone ashlar, and stock brick, with some red brick detailing. The roofs are slate-covered, featuring three ridge stacks, a single gable stack, and two projecting lateral stacks. Dormers with glazing bar sashes are present on the east and south sides.
The house is arranged in an L-shaped plan. The two-storey, four-bay west front incorporates an early 19th-century bay on the left. A 19th-century conservatory, with a pyramidal roof, ornate corbelled wooden eaves, red and blue stained glass upper sections and double partially glazed doors, is situated on the right flank. Adjacent to the conservatory are single 19th-century glazing bar sashes with flanking narrow fixed lights. A double glazed door is positioned to the left, surmounted by a wedge lintel. Above are four 19th-century glazing bar sashes set within the remains of earlier 17th-century mullion windows.
The east front, two storeys and attic in height, has a two-bay front and a four-bay north front connected by a large, curved early 18th-century single-storey block in the re-entrant angle. A C19 bay is on the right of the east front, featuring a glazing bar sash with a wedge lintel. To the left is a glazing bar sash with a concrete lintel. Above this is a single glazing bar sash set into the remains of a mullion window. The ground floor features a round bay with a central doorway flanked by ionic pilasters with roundel decoration on the capitals, a plain entablature, and a pediment. The doorway has a deeply scooped ironstone round-headed surround, a round-headed, panelled door, and is flanked by round-headed windows with margin lights. A balustrade with roundel decorations sits above the doorway.
The north front has two mid-19th-century stock brick bays to the left and ironstone and limestone rubble to the right. A doorway to the right has a wedge lintel, overlight, and double glazed doors. To the left is a glazing bar sash with a wedge lintel, and a narrow plank door with a wooden lintel adjacent to a broader doorway with an ashlar lintel and segmental head, containing a plank door. Two glazing bar sashes are positioned above, the left one with a wooden lintel and the right one with a wedge plaster lintel.
The south front, two storeys and attic in height, exhibits six bays, including two projecting mid-19th-century stock brick bays on the right, and a single projecting, gabled three-storey 17th-century bay to the left. Two glazing bar sashes are on the right with wooden lintels, and a four-light 20th-century casement with a concrete lintel is to the left. The east side of the projecting left-hand bay features a single plain sash. The projecting bay contains a blocked four-light mullion window with a moulded cornice. Above it are two glazing bar sashes with wooden lintels on the right and two glazing bar sashes with two small 20th-century casements under a single concrete lintel on the left. The east side of the projecting left-hand bay also has a glazing bar sash set into a mullion window. A blocked four-light mullion window with a moulded cornice is situated above this, to the left; and a small sliding sash is set into a two-light mullion window with a moulded cornice, above that.
