The Greathouse, beside the B4069 road, was built in about 1690.
In the 1699 marriage settlement of William Coleman and Elizabeth Hastings it is described as "All that capital messuage or tenement lately erected by William Coleman deceased (d. 1691) late Father of William Coleman".
It is a country house of nine bays and two storeys.
Between 1783 and 1832 Greathouse was leased to Isaac Salter and his son Simon Salter (1766–1832) and used as a clothing factory specialising in woollen goods.
The third generation, Simon Uncles Salter and his brother Isaac, moved to old Burton Hill House, near Malmesbury, and continued the manufacture of woollen goods at a new site near the bridge.

Greathouse became a farmhouse, tenanted by Mr Anstey, and it was during this period (1875) that Kilvert visited, noting "the perishing remains of a fine old china cupboard with a shell porch corresponding to the shell porch of the house".
 It was restored and extended between 1907 and 1913 for Charles Garnett, a stockbroker from London, who had moved from Vasterne House, Wootton Bassett.
 The architect was Douglas Stewart of London, and the contractors were James Long & Son of Bradford-on-Avon.
 Greathouse Estate was sold in 1957 and in 1972 there was an auction of antique effects on behalf of Leonard Cheshire who used the premises until 2018.
The house was designated as Grade II* listed in 1960.
