Description
Greenings is a farmhouse that has been converted into a dwelling. It dates from the late medieval period, with a ceiling added in the late 16th century. The southern end has been altered over time, and the building was refenestrated in the late 20th century, with an addition made to the north end. The structure is built from blue lias random rubble and features concrete tiles, coped verges, and a brick stack located at the junction with the wing.
The layout likely consists of a single-ended open hall that has been ceiled to create a three-cell arrangement with a cross passage. The north gable end has been extended, and the southern end has been rebuilt. The west front of the building has one and a half storeys, with all windows dating from the 20th century. It features three gabled dormers at the center, each with coped verges and ball finials. The ground floor includes a window in the 20th-century addition, with the entrance flanked by two windows. The end room is lit from the east front and gable end, and there is a plank door.
Inside, the building has been significantly altered in the mid to late 20th century. The cross passage has been enlarged with stairs inserted to the right. There is a six-panel compartment ceiling and steeply chamfered beams in the hall. The fireplace at the north end has a chamfered lintel, and there are remains of an arch-braced roof with wind bracing, including a cruck truss, which is said to be smoke blackened in the roof.
