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.
