Description
Greeb Cottage is a small house, likely built in the 18th century, that has been remodeled and extended in the 19th century and is now used as a craft shop. The building features granite rubble walls and a bitumen grouted scantle slate roof. A brick chimney is located over the right-hand gable end of the original house.
The plan indicates that the house is now a one-room structure, with a one-room plan outbuilding on the right. Originally, it was probably one and a half rooms deep, consisting of a large kitchen/living room on the right, a small possibly unheated room on the left, and two shallow service rooms at the rear. The eaves were likely heightened in the 19th century.
The exterior is two storeys high with a slightly irregular front that has one window facing south-south-west. The doorway is positioned left of the middle, with small window openings on either side of the doorway and one at the first floor right of the middle. The door is a 19th-century six-panel design, and the windows are mostly 19th-century horned sashes, except for some four-pane fixed lights. The outbuilding on the right features a 20th-century window.
Inside, the cottage has a simple interior, with a 19th-century staircase against the middle of the back wall and a 20th-century first-floor structure.
