Greenbrae Steading Then
Originally a working farm and the entrance to Greenbrae Quarry, Greenbrae Steading was a part of Greenbrae Farmhouse up until Neil and his dad, John, bought it in 2001.
By the time Neil and his dad took ownership, the Steading building was quite run down and in need of repair. However, Neil was a joiner so this was no problem. He used the Steading as a base to run his own business and spent his spare time renovating and restoring the original Steading buildings.
In 2008, Neil set up Greenbrae Stoves, selling high quality woodburning stoves. As the business became more successful, the main steading building was converted into an office and showroom for the stoves.
In 2019, Neil decided to close Greenbrae Stoves in order to do something else with the space. He was keen to build something that was a part of the community, and so the thought of Greenbrae Steading began.
