Green House And Attached Garden Walls And Gate Piers

The Green House, built in 1774 with minor repairs from the 20th century, is a three-storey, L-shaped building made of coursed squared gritstone with gritstone dressings and chamfered quoins. It features a stone slate roof with stone gable end stacks and stone coped gables, a plinth, and a moulded eaves cornice that is raised at the corners over the quoins.

The central entrance has a moulded doorcase with a raised keystone, a plain entablature, a moulded hood, and a glazed panelled door. Flanking the entrance are glazing bar sash windows in flush surrounds with raised fillets. Above the door, there are two similar sash windows with a central circular traceried window in between. On the top floor, there are three small glazing bar sashes with surrounds similar to those below, except the central one has additional moulding. The east gable wall features a lead gutter with a hopper head inscribed 'GB 1774', while the west elevation of the rear wing has a large Venetian staircase window. The original leaded lights remain in the two-light windows on the east elevation of the rear wing.

Inside, the house boasts a fine turned baluster dog-legged staircase with a wide, ramped, moulded handrail that extends through all three floors. The front rooms on the ground and first floors have moulded cornices and decorative plasterwork bosses. The first-floor east room includes a carved classical stone fireplace, while the ground-floor east room features a large bracketed stone fireplace with fluted brackets. Throughout the house, there are original panelled doors with original locks.

Attached to either side of the south elevation are coursed squared gritstone garden walls with flat copings. Near the house, there are flush quoined doorcases with plank doors, and the walls ramp downwards to the south. At the rear wing, there is a low rubble wall with a pair of gate piers at the end, which are square in plan and rusticated with moulded cornices, both of which are partly buried.
