Description

The outbuilding immediately north of Greenhill House is likely from the 18th century and may have originally been a pair of cottages. It was remodeled in the mid to late 19th century for use as stables and a coach house. The structure is built from granite rubble, incorporating some reused moulded granite materials, such as roll-moulded fragments used as quoins and jamb stones, and possibly the weathering to the offsets and cap of the chimneystack. It features a thatched half-hipped roof.

Originally, the building consisted of two one-room cottages, each heated by a single rear lateral stack, with a pair of entrances at the center of the front. After remodeling, the left cottage was converted into stables and the right cottage into a coach house. The building is two storeys high with a two-window range. The ground floor has an original doorway to the left of center, while the doorway to the right of center has been converted into a window with a horizontal sliding sash. The left-hand ground floor also has a similar window. The right-hand ground floor features a large carriage entrance with boarded doors, above which is an enlarged opening fitted with a two-light casement window with glazing bars. The first floor left-hand window has been converted into a loading doorway with boarded doors.

At the rear, there is a granite lateral stack within the wall, flanked by offsets and topped with an ashlar shaft that has a tapered top and a chamfered cap. There is a blocked opening or evidence of rebuilding on the right side, where the masonry appears disturbed. Inside, the partition between the two rooms has been removed. The back wall has a granite chimney breast with a splayed front, resulting in two angled fireplaces, each with unchamfered timber lintels and dressed granite jambs that include some reused roll-moulded stones. A small fireplace is present in the left-hand upper room. The roof space is ceiled, and the roof structure has not been inspected. This is an attractive small building, with its original use and history remaining uncertain.
