Description
Greystone Cottage is a cottage dating from the early 17th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and has a pantile roof with a single ridge and two gable brick stacks. The cottage has a three-bay plan and is single-storey with an attic. An off-centre doorway leads to a lobby entrance, with a 19th-century half-glazed door. To the right of the entrance are two, three-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows; to the left is a lean-to extension under a continuous catslide roof. Two square dormers are located above the main structure, each containing a two-light casement window. The interior features chamfered beams, a bressummer fireplace, a 17th-century winder stair, and some contemporary doors with L-hinges.
