Greinton House

Greinton House is a rectory, now a house, built in the mid-19th century, likely designed by Richard Carver, the County Architect and surveyor. It features a rear wing dating from around 1600, which has been rebuilt and is used as domestic offices. The building is constructed from coursed and squared rubble with freestone dressings, and has coped verges on kneelers, a first-floor band, and roofs made of banded fishscale and plain tiles. It displays an irregular Tudor style with prominent stacks grouped with moulded caps and crested ridges.

The road-facing elevation has two front-facing gables and consists of two bays with two and three-light stone-mullioned and transomed windows, each fitted with casements. On the first floor, there is an oriel window to the left, supported by a central buttress and featuring quatrefoil panels. The entrance is located to the right in a projecting gabled porch with a pierced barge-board. Above the porch, there is a mullioned and transomed window with leaded lights. The outer door opening is enriched, leading to a panelled inner door with sidelights. To the right of the porch, there is a three-light mullioned and transomed stairlight with ornamental stained glass.

At the rear, the house has a double pile range, again with mullioned and transomed windows, mostly with leaded lights. The interior boasts high-quality Tudor style fittings, including ornamental plasterwork, panelling, doors, a staircase, and chimney-pieces, with minimal later alterations.
