Greenham Barton

Greenham Barton is a house that dates from the early 15th century, with alterations from the 16th century and early 20th century. It is constructed of red sandstone random rubble with Ham stone dressings and has a stone slate roof with stone stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan, featuring a long block that includes a hall and porch facing southwest, along with a service wing to the northwest.

The house is two storeys high and has a façade with a pattern of 2:1:2:1 bays. To the right of the porch, there are two mullioned and transomed ten-light Tudor headed windows, a four-light mullioned window in the outer bay to the right, and two pairs of two-light mullioned windows to the left of the porch. The porch itself features a two-light cinquefoil window with a hood mould on the first floor and is crenellated, supported by stepped diagonal buttresses. It has a four-centred arch with convex mouldings. There is also a circular staircase turret with a moulded parapet in the outer bay to the right, which is an early 20th-century addition.

Inside, there are remains of a screens passage that possibly includes an aisle truss post, along with an imported stud and plank screen. An unusual stair turret is located between the screen and the fireplace in the Great Hall, which originally provided access to a gallery above the passage. The Great Hall is open to the eaves and features Elizabethan-style plaster work by Smallcorn of Bath from the early 20th century, similar to that found in the solar and inner room. The fireplace in the Great Hall has a four-centred arch with mouldings of reverse ogees. There is a pointed arched doorway leading to the service wing, which was originally a detached kitchen block. Additionally, there is a round-headed gateway to the northeast, marking the site of a courtyard that once included a detached chapel and lodgings.
