Description

Greater Lane Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, which was refronted in the 18th century. The building features square-panelled timber framing with tension bracing that is still visible at the rear. The front has been rebuilt in English garden wall bond brick and is topped with a half-hipped thatched roof, with a brick stack located to the right.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has two windows. The ground floor includes a blocked doorway and two 3-light plastic-framed casements, while the first floor has two 2-light plastic-framed casements. To the right, there is a former kitchen extension that has a 20th-century door within a porch and a lean-to pantiled roof with a brick stack. The left side of the building retains timber framing with wattle and daub panels, which are part of an attached shed.

At the rear, the farmhouse maintains its timber framing set on a rubble stone plinth, featuring a 2-light and a single-light casement, along with two eyebrow dormers and a lean-to extension to the left. Inside, there is a hollow-chamfered beam and an open fireplace with a timber lintel resting on brick jambs, as well as winding stairs against the rear wall. The doors are either planked or consist of four panels.
