Description

Greenheys is an 18th-century house that features a red brick front added to an earlier building, possibly from the 17th century. It has ashlar dressings and a slate roof, with a ridge stack at the original south end. The house is two storeys high and has a three-window original front, complete with flush quoins, a brick dentilled band, and raised brick eaves. On the first floor, there are three pairs of casement windows, while the centre of the ground floor has a six-panel door with a stone hood supported by brackets, flanked by triple casement windows. The ground floor openings have brick flat heads and stone flush keystones.

To the right, there is an early 19th-century addition that features a pair of casement windows above a triple casement. The south gable is half-hipped and has two pairs of casement windows on the first floor and a triple casement on the ground floor. The rear wall of the main house is made of rubble stone. There is also a single-storey link at the back that connects to an early 19th-century two-storey painted brick cottage, which was originally part of the service accommodation for Badbury House.

Inside, the ground floor has an ogee-moulded centre beam with a semi-circular stop, a 18th-century fireplace in the northwest corner, a chamfered spine beam on the first floor, and a three-bay double purlin roof. The house may have been the White Hart Inn mentioned in a deed from 1690.
