Description

The Greenmantle Hotel, originally a manse, was built in 1781 by Anthony Park. Significant additions and alterations occurred in 1822, and a further wing was added between 1900 and 1901. The building initially comprised a two-storey, three-bay house, to which a further two-storey, three-bay house was added in 1822, creating an L-shaped plan. A more recent two-storey, two-bay wing was constructed between 1900 and 1901 at the re-entrant angle to the east. The exterior is of painted rubble, with painted render on the east elevation and on the 1900-01 wing. Painted margins and quoin strips define the 1822 block.

The principal south elevation features a three-bay arrangement of 1822, with a Roman Doric porch at the centre. This porch has detached columns, a triglyph frieze, a cornice, and a blocking course with a central tablet, leading to a flush-panelled door and a plate glass fanlight, accessible by red sandstone steps and a platt. Regularly spaced windows are present, with taller windows at ground floor.

The west elevation shows the original 1781 three-bay block to the left, with the gable of the 1822 block slightly projecting to the right. Fenestration is regular on the 1781 block; ground floor windows have been enlarged, and a smaller, later window is situated between the centre and right bays. A modern timber porch is adjoined to the left, and a window is positioned to the left at ground floor, showing the gable to the right.

On the east elevation, the gable of the 1822 block is to the left, with a window at ground floor. The 1900-01 wing is to the right, featuring a French window and bay to the left and a bipartite window and bay to the right at ground floor, with two windows at the first floor.

The north elevation displays the gable of the 1781 block to the right, with a painted rubble lean-to addition to the north; a first-floor window is visible on the eastern return. The 1900-01 wing is recessed to the left, with a modern flat-roofed timber addition infilling the re-entrant angle at ground floor. Windows are timber sash and case, with plate glass glazing, and fixed plate glass glazing is used at ground floor on the south elevation. Coped skews are present. Stacks are of painted rubble, with copes, and have gableheads to the east and west (of the 1822 block) and to the north and ridge to the south (of the 1781 block). Grey slates, graded to the east and west pitches of the 1781 block, cover the roof. Painted octagonal cans top the chimney stacks, alongside red sandstone ridges and a piend roof to the north of the 1900-01 wing.

The interior contains some original late 18th century panelled doors, architraves, and cornicing belonging to the 1781 section of the house.

Boundary walls, built in 1867, are of rubble construction with angled rubble coping and run along Main Street to the west. A wall to the north is shared with the adjacent Graveyard (listed separately). Various gabled and piend-roofed stone outbuildings are present; two are located to the south, and one is incorporated with the Graveyard wall to the north.
