Description

Greenlands Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse located on Hoxne Road in Denham. It is timber framed and plastered, topped with a pantiled roof, and has two storeys plus an attic. The building is a two-cell fragment of what was originally a three-cell house, with the parlour end on the left now missing. It features three 20th-century casement windows, each with a single horizontal glazing bar, and a central doorway with a mid-20th-century boarded door. There are two external stacks, one against the left gable end and another, set forward, against the right gable end. To the right, there is a single-storey addition made of colourwashed brick.

The timber frame appears largely intact, with some later straight braces added. There is evidence of original first-floor windows. Inside, the hall ceiling has chamfered joists, although the joists in the upper bay have been lost. The service partition shows signs of paired arched doorways, indicating that the service end was originally divided into two rooms. The roof is of the queen-post type and lacks bracing to either the collars or arcade plates. It includes a ridge piece and shows evidence that the roof was hipped over the service end.
