Description
Greenfield House is a two-storey building dating from the late Victorian period. The front features a three-window scribed rendered facade with a plinth and quoins, topped by a modern concrete tile roof that has a rendered chimney stack at the left end and two more at the rear. The windows are horned sash types with sills and cambered voussoir arch heads, with a tripartite window to the left. The central entrance has a late Victorian gabled porch that includes a deep cornice, a plinth, and a high transom with traceried top-lights, flanked by narrow hall windows. To the left, there is a garage that is stepped down.
The rear of the house, also scribed render, features 9-pane sashes on the first floor and a splayed bay on the ground floor. A projecting chimney breast is located beside the central four-panel back door, which has a timber porch. There is a two-storey extension beyond with a monopitch roof and small-pane sash windows. The left side of the main building has small-pane sashes with cambered voussoir heads, including a horizontally sliding sash. At the rear corner, there is a whitewashed, lofted stable and privy, along with a further rubble outbuilding at right angles that has a multipane horizontally sliding sash.
Inside, the main entrance leads to a large square hall enriched around 1900, featuring a tiled floor and a complete panelled effect up to a bracketed cornice at picture rail level, with a ribbed plaster ceiling in a standard lobed pattern. The cornice is an earlier 19th-century design with rosettes at the corners. The late-Georgian staircase is retained, showcasing S-shaped tread ends. A segmental arch leads to a stepped-down rear hallway, where a thick wall may have been part of the original building's exterior. The main rooms have six-panel doors with architraves and panelled shutters. The dining room on the left has a Regency style reeded architrave and a tall sideboard recess, along with a semicircular arched polished slate chimneypiece. The drawing room on the right features a more elaborate chimneypiece and an ornate foliated iron ceiling rose. There is also one early eight-panel fielded door on the first floor.
