Description
Greenways is a cottage, originally built as a pair of dwellings and now used as a single house. It dates to the 17th century and is timber-framed, with rendered plaster walls and a reed thatched roof. A prominent red brick ridge stack sits atop the roof, although the upper courses have been rebuilt in grey brick. The house has a two-bay plan, with a possible later, lower extension at the rear. It is one storey high with an attic, and includes two dormers added in the mid-20th century. The front features two flush-frame casement windows with leaded lights, and two boarded doors. A thatched kitchen wing extends to the rear, with a boarded door located almost opposite the stack in the rear wall.

Greenways sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 85% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 52% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
