Description
Greystone Cottage is a detached cottage located in Steeple Langford, dated 1635 according to the datestone on the attic dormer. The building is constructed from limestone rubble stone and features a thatched roof with a hip to the left and a coped verge to the right, along with gable end brick stacks. It is a single storey with an attic and has three windows.
The front facade includes a 20th-century three-light mullioned casement window to the left, a central two-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casement with a hoodmould, a blocked doorway, and a three-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casement with a hoodmould to the right. The full attic dormer has a four-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casement with a hoodmould, a small blocked light, and a moulded tablet with relief lettering indicating the date, topped with a coped verge and a small ball finial.
On the right side, there is a single casement window on the ground floor and a two-light mullioned casement in the attic. The left side features a 20th-century casement window. The rear of the cottage serves as the entrance front and includes a two-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casement to the left of a planked door with a thatched canopy, a two-light mullioned casement, and a second planked door to the right. The attic floor has a two-light eyebrow dormer to the right and a single light window for the stairs.
Inside, there are two open fireplaces; the northern one has a chamfered stone lintel on stone jambs, while the southern fireplace features a chamfered timber lintel on stone jambs. The beams are chamfered, with the northern beam displaying a small roll moulding and the southern beam having ogee stops. The first floor includes a small stone Tudor-arched fireplace. Attached to the rear of the cottage is a square rubble stone outhouse with a hipped thatched roof, a planked door, and a two-light casement window.
