1 AND 1A, GREY FRIARS (See details for further address information)

Nos. 1 and 1A Grey Friars, along with No. 28A Nicholas Street, are three townhouses that were later used as a Territorial Army centre and are now offices. They were likely built in the early 19th century and have been altered internally. The buildings are finished in stucco and feature a grey slate roof for Nos. 1 Grey Friars and 28A Nicholas Street, while No. 1A Grey Friars has a flat roof.

The exterior of the buildings shows three storeys facing Nicholas Street and two storeys facing Grey Friars. On the first storey of Nicholas Street, there is a tripartite sash window with 4, 12, and 4 panes, two recessed 12-pane sashes, a door with six fielded panels, and another tripartite sash window. The second storey has a sill band and sashes that match those on the first storey. The third storey features three recessed 6-pane sashes, with painted stone sills and heads designed to look like wedge lintels, topped by a cornice. The face of No. 1 Grey Friars has a door with four fielded panels above two flush panels, set in a doorcase with an architrave, pilasters, frieze, and cornice. There are recessed 12-pane sashes on either side of the door, a sill band, and three recessed 12-pane sashes on the second storey, along with a gable that has a flush ridge chimney. The rear of the building has three recessed 12-pane sashes on each storey, a band, and a parapet gable.

No. 1A Grey Friars is recessed and some features may have been replaced, but they are similar to those of No. 1 Grey Friars, including four recessed 12-pane sashes and a door with six fielded panels on the lower storey, and three recessed 12-pane sashes plus a small 4-pane sash in each wing on the upper storey. It has a sill band, a band at the base of the parapet, and coping. The west end is plain, and the south face has been modernised.

Inside, No. 1 Grey Friars has cellars, part of which features a brick barrel vault, wine bins, and stone steps, with cellar walls made of rubble sandstone and brick. Other than the cellars, the interiors have been altered. These buildings are included for their group value.
