Greenbanks Hope Cottage

Hope Cottage and Greenbanks are semi-detached houses located on Church Street in Fenny Compton. Hope Cottage, which is on the left, dates from the late 17th century and is constructed of ironstone ashlar. It features a splayed plinth and a string course, with a 20th-century tile roof that has a gable parapet and kneelers on the left, along with boxed eaves. The house has a two-unit baffle entry plan, is two storeys tall with an attic, and has a two-window range. The entrance, located on the right, includes a 20th-century plank door set within a moulded stone architrave, accompanied by a curved niche seat. The windows are three-light moulded stone-mullioned. On the left return side, there is a partially-blocked three-light stone-mullioned attic window with a hood mould. At the rear, there are single-storey 20th-century additions and two two-light stone-mullioned windows on the first floor. Inside, there is a large open fireplace with a stop-chamfered bressumer and stop-chamfered ceiling beams. A former rear doorway and windows are exposed within the addition, with the doorway possibly being a re-used 16th-century feature that has a hollow-chamfered shallow four-centred arch and chamfered jambs, along with moulded spandrels and a fillet at the apex.

Greenbanks, on the right, is made of yellow limestone ashlar and also has a splayed plinth. It features an artificial slate roof that is hipped to the right and has a brick stack. This house has a double-depth plan, is two storeys high, and has a one-window range. The windows are similar to those of Hope Cottage, and the entrance is on the right return side, featuring a plank door with a wood lintel. There is a three-light casement set in the remains of a stone-mullioned window, along with a two-light casement. The first floor has a three-light stone-chamfered mullioned window and a small single-light stone-chamfered mullioned window. At the rear, there is a gable with a blocked two-light mullion window and a brick stack.
