Description

The Greek House, located at 2 Tanhouse Brae in Culross, is a 17th-century, two-storey, four-bay house with an advanced right bay. The exterior features pink harl with exposed stone surrounds and includes a Greek inscription above a blocked door.

On the south elevation, there is an off-centre door flanked by windows. The far right bay is semi-octagonal and has a roll-moulded doorway that has been converted into a window. The Greek inscription in the lintel translates to "God provides and will provide." There are two first-floor windows in the left section and a single first-floor window in the advanced bay. A plaque from the National Trust for Scotland is located below the left window.

The west elevation is attached to The Study, while the north elevation is partially visible and includes a ground floor window on the right and a first-floor window above it, with a lean-to structure on the left. The east elevation is attached to 3 Tanhouse Brae.

The house predominantly features 12-pane timber sash and case windows, with a 16-pane window in the former door and a round-headed sash and case window to the right of the entrance door. The entrance has a timber studded door with a tirling pin. The roof is pitched and covered with clay pantiles, featuring a gable apex stack to the west and a rear wallhead stack.

The interior was not seen in 2001.
