Using FreeCEN's previous/next buttons, we see there are 6 h/h's with Greenhils as their addy, and preceeding these 6, the addy is Denhead.

https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ9858 has 2 pics taken on the road from Denhead to Greenhill.
A lookup of NJ9858 at http://www.streetmap.co.uk/ followed by a change from zoom level 2 to level 4 gets the inset OS maps shown with the Geograph pics.
Incidentally, in 1841, the village of Strichen was called Mormond Village
