Description
Greenfields Farmhouse is a 17th-century house that was later converted into two cottages during the 19th century. It is timber-framed with roughcast rendering over weatherboarding, and has a roof of handmade red clay tiles and some corrugated iron. The house has four bays aligned approximately northeast to southwest, facing northwest, with two end chimney stacks. It has two rustic tiled porches and four late 19th-century casement windows on the ground floor, and two on the first floor. The house features jowled posts, stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and is a fully pegged frame of good quality.
