Description
The farm buildings immediately east of Greenway Farmhouse date from around 1850 and are likely contemporary with the farmhouse itself. Constructed from stone rubble with dressed stone quoins and arches, these buildings feature low pitched slate hipped roofs. The layout consists of continuous two-storey ranges surrounding three sides of a stock yard, with a detached single-storey cattle shelter and cartshed on the fourth side.
A 20th-century covered yard has been added but does not physically affect the original structures. On the south side, there is a long bank barn with four segmentally arched first-floor barn doors on its outer wall. A large steam engine chimney stack rises from the center of this wall, supported by a square stone rubble pedestal with a moulded stone cornice and a square red brick shaft topped with a projecting brick cap. All machinery has been removed from the barn.
The barn range includes loading doors and windows above the doorway and windows below, as well as a segmentally arched wagon entrance at the west end leading to the root house. The east range contains stables and a beef fattening house with lofts above. The north range serves as a shippen with lofts over and a root house at the end, also featuring a segmentally arched wagon entrance. All segmentally arched openings have plank doors and shutters.
The detached range on the fourth (west) side is single-storey with a single span hipped roof. There is an open-fronted cattle shelter in the yard supported by cast iron posts. Wagon and implement sheds face outward, with the right-hand shed open fronted and supported by a stone pier, while the left-hand shed has boarded double doors. This complex is a well-preserved example of a planned farmstead from the high farming period.
