Greystones and Garden Walls Attached

Greystones is a house built around 1850, located in Longhirst Village. The front is made of tooled-and-margined ashlar, while the rear is constructed from rubble, topped with a slate roof. The building has two storeys and features two wide bays arranged symmetrically. A central four-panel door is topped by a four-pane overlight and is sheltered by a trellised wooden porch on dwarf walls with chamfered coping. The porch gable is adorned with quatrefoil-latticed bargeboards and a finial. On either side of the porch are renewed 12-pane sash windows, with similar but smaller windows above in half-dormers, which also have flush surrounds and bargeboards. The half-dormers and main roof are finished with orange ridge tiles that have quatrefoil piercings, and there are stepped and corniced end stacks. The narrow garden is enclosed by low walls with chamfered coping, and features a gate and end piers. The returns of the house display similar bargeboards and gable details. At the rear, there is an outshut with a boarded door and a 12-pane Yorkshire sash window, set in alternating-block surrounds.
