Description
Greenbury is a house located on the north side of Barley London Road, dating from the early 17th century with later extensions in the 17th century and alterations in the 19th century. The building features a timber frame with panelled rendering and weatherboarding, topped by a steeply pitched thatched roof. It has a five-bay lobby entry and was originally designed as two cells, later extended at both ends. The house is one storey with an attic, and has a weatherboarded dado.
The central entrance is located in a gabled, half-glazed porch added in the 20th century. To the left of the entrance are two 19th-century canted oriel windows with brackets and small pane casements. To the right, there is a horizontal sliding sash window, a single pane window, and a two-light casement, all with flush frames and hoodboards. The right side also features two three-light dormers with eyebrow thatching and leaded lights in metal frames.
A central axial ridge stack has a rebuilt cap, while the left end has a hip roof with weatherboarding on the ground floor, a pentice board, and a two-light attic casement. The right end has a half hip, an entrance, and a first-floor canted oriel with a cornice and exposed plates. The rear of the house displays mixed fenestration and includes a Sun Fire Insurance Marker.
Attached to the right is a 20th-century link to a former cow shed, which is weatherboarded with a slate roof, and a two-storey block from the 19th century made of roughcast brick with a slate roof, featuring scattered casements and a white brick stack. Inside, the house showcases exposed framing, jowled posts with arched braces to cambered tie beams, ogee stop-chamfered bearers and fireplace lintels, an inglenook with a bread oven, and a spice cupboard.
