Description
Greatbridge House is an early 19th-century Regency house, attached to a lower, older rear section, forming an L-shaped layout, with minor late 19th-century extensions. The house is constructed of red brick walls in a Flemish bond pattern, with cambered openings and stone cills. The rear section is rendered. The front block has a hipped tile roof with a wide eaves soffit, while the northernmost extension has a hipped slate roof.
The symmetrical south front has two storeys and three windows, featuring sixteen-pane sashes in reveals. A simple Tuscan porch, composed of two pilasters and two columns, displays a panelled soffit, wide opening with architrave, and an early 20th-century half-glazed door, approached by stone steps. The long rear wing, with two storeys and five windows, has a rendered east wall, small casements (one splayed bay), a plain doorway, and a single-storeyed service wing at the north end. A large, half-octagonal brick bay, dating to the mid-19th century, is found on the west elevation.
The interior includes a plain staircase, panelled doors in architraves, and Regency ceiling cornices.
