Greencroft

Greencroft is a house located on Priest Lane in Lower Allithwaite, likely built in the 18th century with some early 19th-century alterations. The building features roughcast stone walls and a slate roof, standing two storeys tall with three bays and a central entrance plan. To the north, there is a low recessed range that is also two storeys and three bays wide, with a moulded gutter. The windows are sashed and include glazing bars. The entrance is distinguished by Tuscan columns, a frieze, and a pediment, leading to a six-fielded-panel door with two glazed panels. Gable-end stacks are present on the building. The recessed range has two sashed windows with single glazing bars flanking the entrance, along with a blocked window to the left. The entrance features a roughcast lintel with three vertical grooved stones, and both the blocked window and the one to the right of the entrance have medieval moulded stones in their lintels. The right side of the building facing the street includes a wing at the rear, which has an outshut under a catslide roof. Inside, there is a niche with shelves supported by fluted flat pilasters, a broken pediment, and a cartouche with a painted shell. The lower range contains a stone fireplace with a corbelled lintel, featuring a key and Rococo relief decoration.
