Greyhound House

Greyhound House is an inn, later converted into a house, dating to 1682. It is constructed from limestone rubble with wooden lintels and has an old plain-tile roof with brick gable stacks. The building is arranged in an L-shape. The front elevation has two storeys plus attic space and originally had four windows, although these have been replaced with cross windows to both floors and at the central entrance, which is now within a 20th-century porch. Datestones inscribed “16”, “0/WI”, and “82” are positioned between the first-floor windows. The roof is hipped to the left and returns over the rear wing, featuring a roof dormer facing left. The left side of the building has a four-window range with renewed cross windows, including a stair window; all with 20th-century lattice glazing. The rear gable has a stone parapet, paired brick stacks, and single-light windows, some of which are blocked. A 20th-century extension is situated in the angle between the ranges.

The interior features a large open fireplace with a partly rebuilt bread oven, heavy stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, an upper flight of a 17th-century dogleg staircase with heavy turned balusters, and a first-floor fireplace with a curved interior, a herringbone-brick reredos, and a brick flat arch. A butt-purl with jointed rafters is visible in the roof. The house was likely originally built as a farmhouse for the Deeley family and ceased to operate as an inn in 1900.
