Description
Dated 1779, with additions from the early to mid-19th century, Greenfield is a two-storey, three-bay former manse. It is arranged in an L-shape, with a projecting Classical porch, a gabled wing to the rear, and a single-storey wing extending to the right. The exterior is of harled rubble with ashlar dressings, including quoins and modillioned eaves to the front (east) elevation. The large Classical porch is supported by pilasters and features an entablature; it is flanked by bipartite windows on the ground floor, with three single windows above, set close to the eaves.
The windows are timber sash and case, with a variety of glazing patterns consisting of two, four, and twelve panes. The roof is covered with small grey slates. The building has tall, octagonal-shafted stacks set diagonally, with clay cans. Other external details include stone skews and skew putts, and cast-iron rainwater goods.
The interior features a turned timber balustrade to the staircase and a tray ceiling in the principal ground floor room to the south.
Greenfield is a good example of a late 18th-century provincial manse. It is situated on sloping ground opposite St Andrew's Parish Church (listed separately), overlooking the Lyne Water, and is screened from the road by mature trees. The building appears to pre-date the first incarnation of the present church, and its modillioned eaves course echoes that of the church. The early to mid-19th century additions to the rear and to the north gable are in keeping with the earlier section and likely coincided with the re-casting of St Andrew’s parish church. The stacks are probably of mid-19th century date and are in Tudor style. A detached, U-plan stable range, now converted to residential use and in separate ownership, is located to the north of the house, providing contextual interest. It forms part of a B-group with St Andrew's Parish Church.
