The building recording has involved a basic visual record of the exterior and interior of the farmhouse. This has allowed for a written description and analysis of the buildings with 17 figures and 32 plates as illustrations. In addition, there is a further section at the back of the report (Section 7: Archival Record) which comprises a list of illustrations and interpretive notes to support the archival record. The latter consists primarily of 166 digital images and prints from five films, comprising 166 negatives and prints held in archival quality sleeves. The report 7 Greencroft Farm, Weaddow Lane, Middleton-by-Youlgreave, Derbyshire includes copies of the digital images together with plans showing their viewpoints. The archive, comprising the black and white negatives and prints, nine A3 sheets of drawing film with plans and elevations of the buildings, four A4 pages of notes and a photographic register comprising three sheets of A4 paper and copy of the report will be deposited at the Derbyshire Record Office in Matlock. The final report will be provided in PDF format to the Peak District National Park Authority and Derbyshire County Council for accession to the Derbyshire Historic Environment Record with a record of the project and copy of the report also deposited with the online database OASIS under the code matthurf1-537525. Greencroft Farm dates to the seventeenth century when it was a lobby-entrance house, was modernised during the mid-eighteenth century, extended in c.1800 and extensively remodelled, including the addition of an outshot, during the mid-nineteenth century. Each separate phase can be traced in the architecture of the building and through the surviving fixtures and fittings contained within. The plan form of each phase is equally clear. Therefore, it would have to be concluded that the house of high historical significance, of national importance, which is in line with its Grade II listed status. The removal of the plaster work within the house and a sizeable proportion of the fixtures and fittings during the current renovation works has had a negative impact on the significance of the building. However, they are almost exclusively restricted to nineteenth century elements 22 Greencroft Farm, Weaddow Lane, Middleton-by-Youlgreave, Derbyshire which are of lesser importance than those features dating to the preceding centuries. In addition, a number of the features had already been adversely affected by damp and water ingress. The works have presented the opportunity to enhance the interior by the renovation of the historic doors and reinstatement of the water damaged features. Therefore, it is judged that less than substantial harm has been caused by the unauthorised alterations. Extensive repairs to the roof have enhanced the house, securing its long-term future by preventing further water ingress that was damaging the historic fabric of the building yet retaining the vast majority of the roof timbers, including both king post roof trusses, and Welsh slates.
