Description
Greenbeck is a C19 farmhouse and steading group, dated 1854. The two-storey, three-bay farmhouse has a low rear wing. The south elevation is constructed of roughly-coursed red rubble with ashlar dressings, and painted slab margins. The flanks and rear elevations are whitewashed. It features a corniced, plain central doorcase with a modern door; sash windows with four-pane glazing, with square windows on the first floor. There are end stacks, one of which has been rebuilt, and the roof is covered in graded slates.
The steading is of several building dates, arranged in an irregular plan. It consists of whitewashed rubble and ashlar dressings with slate roofs. A west range dates to the mid to later 18th century and includes a single-storey, centre-doored former cottage (from which stacks have been removed), a wide archway in the range adjoining the east gable. Additional ranges run north and south of this latter range. An eastern horsemill has lost its original roof. A large haybarn to the northwest has a gabled roof supported on large, square rubble-built piers.
