Description

Greenbank is a house that was formerly a vicarage, built around 1820-1830. It features plastered stone walls with joint lining and a shallow pitch hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves. There are two rear lateral brick stacks. The layout consists of a front block that is single depth, containing two equal-sized principal rooms on either side of a central stair hall, with a long service wing extending to the rear.

The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-window front. The outer windows are set in full-height segmental arched recesses. The first-floor windows are 20-pane hornless sashes with marginal glazing bars, although the left-hand window is a late 20th-century replica. The ground floor features large original 12-pane hornless sashes. A central late 20th-century pilastered porch with glazed double doors is located in front of the original marginal-glazed front door. Plain pilasters are present at the corners and on either side of the porch.

Inside, the house retains its original open string stick baluster staircase with a wreathed handrail and a simple moulded ceiling band in the front right-hand room.

Local climate

Greenbank sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 980 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 78% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 81% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 18 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 83% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
