Description

Greenholme and Wheelwrights Cottage are two cottages that were likely originally one house, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with a mid to late 19th-century workshop that is now a garage. The property was modernised around 1985. The house features a timber frame, with the ground floor underbuilt in stretcher bond brick, while the upper frame is hung with peg-tile, and the chimney shafts are also brick. The roof is covered in peg-tile. The former workshop is constructed of Flemish bond red brick and also has a peg-tile roof.

The layout consists of a pair of cottages based on a late 17th century to early 18th century three-room plan, facing northwest onto The Green. Greenholme occupies the left one-room section, which has a rear lateral stack that was likely added later. Wheelwright Cottage occupies the remaining space. The central room has an original rear lateral stack, while the right end room features a possibly secondary end stack. There is a large workshop attached to the right end of the house.

The house is two storeys high with attics in the roof space. The exterior has a regular but not symmetrical four-window front with 20th-century casements that have rectangular panes of leaded glass. Each cottage has a front doorway with a 20th-century plank door, covered by a gabled hood supported by raking struts. The tall roof is half-hipped at both ends and includes a single front gabled dormer.

The gabled front of the workshop features part-glazed double doors with long strap hinges, next to a sash window without glazing bars, all set under a low segmental brick arch. The gable displays a decorative pattern of burnt headers and includes a bullseye window.

The interior was not available for inspection during the survey, but some plain carpentry details were observed. This pair of cottages contributes to an attractive and varied group of listed buildings along The Green.
