Description
Greenfield Manor is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It consists of two ranges, with the right range dating from the early 17th century and the left range from around 1700. The right range features Flemish bond brickwork, while the left range is constructed with English bond brick. The building has a gabled old tile roof and brick stacks at the ridge and ends. The right range, which has a lobby entry, was extended to form a T-plan around 1700.
The right side is a one-storey and attic structure with a two-window range, which includes a blocked door, 20th-century windows, and two two-light leaded casements set in gabled dormers that were originally half-dormers. The left side is a two-storey and attic range with a two-window layout, featuring an early 20th-century brick gabled porch and segmental arches over three-light cross windows, one of which has been reset to the right of the porch. The second-floor casements are set in two cross gables with 20th-century flat arches. At the rear, there is a leaded casement and a mid-19th-century pedimented doorway.
The rear wing, built around 1700, is a two-storey, two-window range with tile-hung first-floor over Flemish bond brick featuring flared headers. It has a gabled old tile roof, a brick end stack, and a 18th-century sash window. This wing is connected to a rendered stair-turret on the rear left. Inside the right range, there is an open fireplace and quartered ovolo-moulded beams, along with a queen-post roof that has clasped purlins. The left range features chamfered beams and an early 18th-century dog-leg staircase with a landing, which has turned balusters on a closed string. The first floor and attic have not been inspected.
