Description

Greensleeves is a house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It features a rendered ashlar exterior and a Bridgwater tile roof, with a coped east gable and end wall stacks, including a truncated east stack. The building is two and a half storeys tall and has a double front.

The façade includes two tall coped dormer gables, each with saddlestones and 2-light ovolo-moulded recessed mullion windows topped with hoodmoulds. On the first floor, there are two similar 3-light windows with hoodmoulds, while the ground floor has a dripcourse above two similar 3-light windows. The dripcourse is interrupted by a hood on brackets over a central 19th-century six-panel door set in a moulded flush surround. The house also has a moulded plinth and features small pane windows, along with some sash opening lights.
