Greadow House

Greadow House is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the mid-17th century, with alterations made around the 18th and 20th centuries. It is constructed from granite rubble with granite dressings and has an asbestos slate roof featuring gable ends and projecting gable end stacks. The building has a two-room plan with a central passage that leads to a stair tower at the rear, and there is a rear left outshut likely from the 18th century. Each room is heated by a gable end stack, with the left room probably originally serving as a hall or kitchen.

The house is two storeys high and has three windows, all of which are 20th-century twenty-light casements. There is a central granite porch with a pitched roof, featuring a two-light casement window at the front and a door to the side. The right gable end has a wide external stack with granite weathering and a cornice, and a 20th-century window on the first floor to the right. A single-storey addition from the 20th century projects beyond the rear outshut. The left side has a two-light hollow-chamfered granite casement window at ground floor to the right, and a straight joint leading to the rear outshut, which runs along the entire back of the house and contains 20th-century windows and a door, enclosing the rear stair tower. The stair tower was raised in the 20th century and has a flat roof, hung with asbestos slate, and two 20th-century windows.

Inside, the left room features a fireplace with a flat chamfered granite lintel and chamfered jambs, while the gable end window has a hollow-chamfered surround and a square-cut mullion with a splayed reveal. There is a doorway leading to the rear outshut. The central entrance passage is unusually wide, and the stair in the rear tower has been replaced with a 20th-century stair that divides to the right and left, with a blocked single stair light at the upper level. The right room contains a gable end fireplace with a heavy flat chamfered granite lintel.

The roof structure is partially visible, consisting of two trusses with straight principal rafters, one row of purlins, and a diagonal set ridge purlin, with collars pegged to the faces of the principals. Over the left room, one cambered and chamfered collar remains, although much of the timber has been replaced.
