Greenway Farmhouse

Greenway Farmhouse is a Grade II* listed farmhouse, likely dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, with extensions from the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is constructed from plastered local stone and flint rubble, possibly including some cob, with stone rubble stacks and plastered brick chimney shafts. The roof is thatched, with a small portion replaced with tiles.

The farmhouse has a large, irregular plan, with the main facade facing east-south-east. It features a three-room plan, and a one-room plan wing that projects forward from the right (south) end, which has a gable-end stack. There are extensive rear blocks, and the heated rooms are served by mostly axial stacks. The farmhouse is well-preserved, with some 17th-century windows visible from the road, although parts of the house likely date back to the late medieval period and may have originally been an open hall house. It now stands at two storeys.

The exterior is partially visible from the road, showcasing an irregular series of 19th and 20th-century casements with glazing bars, alongside two 17th-century oak windows with chamfered mullions located on the north side of a rear block at first floor level. The doorways on both sides are set behind 20th-century porches, and the roofs are either hipped or gable-ended.

Although the interior was not inspected during the survey, it is reported to contain significant 16th and 17th-century carpentry. Greenway Farmhouse is an attractive structure on an ancient site, originally known as Grenoweia in the Domesday Book. A thorough survey, including an assessment of the interior carpentry, is recommended before any building or modernization work to avoid disturbing valuable early features, possibly dating back to the 15th century.
