Description
The buildings comprise a group of cottages forming the west end of the south row in Greenhill, standing above road level. Crown Cottage (No 3) appears to have a 17th-century core with a front of the 18th and 19th centuries, and features a plain tile gabled roof and a stone rubble front. It has three small three-light modern wood casements on the upper floor and two larger three-light windows with wood lintels below. A ledged door is set within a frame.
Crown Cottage itself (formerly Nos. 4 and 5) is likely 17th century and is characterised by a roughcast front and a plinth. The upper floor has two sash windows without glazing bars, while below are a four-panelled door in a moulded frame and two sash windows. Nos. 6 and 7 likely have 17th-century interiors and each feature a window bay and outer doorway, with a plain tile gabled roof and stone rubble front. They have two-light, segmental-headed casements, with the upper window in No. 7 featuring leaded panes. Ledged doors are set within frames. No. 8, also probably 17th century internally, shares a roof span with Nos. 6 and 7, and features a single window bay and door, a stone rubble front, a two-light wood casement above, and a sash window below, with a ledged door in a frame to the right.
Nos. 9 and 11 are two cottages straddling a central passageway, also likely 17th century, with a stone bearing the initials and date "W F R 1664." On the upper floor, from the right, they have casements of three, two, and three lights. On the ground floor, from left to right, are a three-light casement, an entrance to the passageway with a wood lintel and a six-panelled door, and a three-light casement. A leaded casement is present to the rear. No. 10, situated to the rear of No. 9, is a later construction of the 19th century, built with ashlar, two storeys high. It has a small window to the left on the upper floor, a taller window partly in the roof to the right, two segmental headed windows on the ground floor, and a modern half-glazed door.
No. 19 (Bodham House) adjoins No. 11 to the east. The front has three widely spaced windows and a plain tile gabled roof. It has a roughcast front and three-light wood casements with older catches above. On the ground floor, from left to right, are a four-light window, a six-panelled door with pilasters and an entablature, a three-light window, a six-panelled door within a late Georgian style doorcase, and a three-light casement.
The listed buildings on the north side of Greenhill, from Newell Cottage to Belmont, and on the south side, from Trinity Lodge to premises occupied by Godden and Curtis, constitute a group.
