Description
Greenhills is a cottage, likely dating from the 17th century, with a 20th-century extension. It features roughcast over rubble and has a hipped thatched roof, which includes a catslide and a double Roman tiled addition. There is a large exposed rubble lateral stack to the right of the entrance and a tall lateral stack on the right return. The building has a two-cell plan and stands one and a half storeys high. A dormer window is located to the left of the lateral stack, while the catslide addition is unlit on the main elevation. The ground floor has a plank door to the left and a long window with three vertical lights beside the stack. The right return has one bay that is lit, with the catslide to the right. The interior has not been seen.
