Description
Greystones is a former vicarage built around 1830 and restored around 1990. It was constructed by Lady Londonderry for the Reverend O J Creswell. The building features coursed stone with ashlar dressings and slate roofs, along with various ashlar stacks. It has quoins, raised and coped gables with kneelers, a moulded plinth, and a first-floor band. The structure is two storeys tall.
The south front has a recessed centre with a five-light cross mullion window, above which is a wooden three-light cross mullion window topped with a stepped gable. There are projecting wings on either side; the left wing has a canted bay with a four-light cross mullion window, while the right wing features a five-light cross mullion window. Each side has a wooden three-light cross mullion window above.
The west front includes a two-storey porch with a four-centred arched moulded doorway that has carved spandrels, a hood mould, and a coat-of-arms. Above this doorway is a single light window with a hood mould. To the right, there is a broad external stack flanked by single six-pane windows, and above to the left is a two-light mullion window.
The rear front is irregularly gabled and features a single traceried stair window and a small circular porch with a single plank door in a moulded surround. This building is recognized as a very early and influential example of the Gothic Revival style.
