Greenwood Cottage

Greenwood Cottage is a house dating back to the 16th or 17th century, with alterations made around 1800. It is constructed of painted roughcast, with a slate roof that is hipped to the left, featuring an external stack on the left return and a ridge stack at the junction of the rear wing. The house originally followed a three-unit through-passage plan, with a rear wing attached.

The two-storey, three-window front has early 19th-century banded pilasters. The first floor has horned 3/6-pane sash windows, while the ground floor has two 3-light 4-pane casement windows. A 19th-century planked porch with a thatched roof and a 20th-century door is located to the left of centre. The left return is of rubblestone with a timber lintel above a 2-light first-floor casement window. The rear wing, originally a single storey, now has a 20th-century addition on the first floor, and a small one-light window is near the angle of the main block. A pebble-paved forecourt dates from around 1800.

The interior includes timber-framed lathe and plaster partitions. The room on the right-hand side of the ground floor has ten exposed joists and an open fire with rubblestone jambs and an oak lintel. The room to the left has an early 18th-century cyma-moulded cornice, a 2-panel door, and a circa 1800 half-glazed door. The staircase has oak treads, wide horizontal planking to the stud wall below, circa 1800 stick balusters, and a mahogany handrail. The roof is known to have pegged joints.

The former butcher's shop on the right has a stone-flagged through passage. The rear door is early 18th century, with 2 raised-and-fielded panels and a 6-pane overlight. A raised platform in the rear right of the passage reveals evidence of a former staircase with a pintle to a former door at the base, and a timber lintel over a barred, painted-over window to the rear. It is alleged that documents from 1508 and 1608 relating to the property exist.
