Overdee And Grey Walls

Overdee and Grey Walls are a house, originally built in the mid-18th century and later altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The exterior is coloured roughcast on brick, with painted quoins and dressings, and a slate roof with stone-coped gables and end stacks. The front of the house has two storeys and an attic, with a three-window facade. The entrance to Overdee is an oak framed door with ledged and braced panels, false strap hinges and a rectangular overlight. The windows are recessed sash windows, with glazing bars, in quoined openings with stone sills and lintels, except for a ground floor window on the right which is different. Two attic windows are two-light flush casements in flat-roofed dormers. A first-floor sillband and eaves band extend across the right return. The right return has a two-storey, two-window gabled front, with a two-storey, two-window wing to the right, with a gable wall supported by two battered buttresses. The entrance to Grey Walls has a half-glazed door under a tented hood on console brackets. The windows are mainly replacement sashes, without glazing bars, or 20th-century top-hung replacements in quoined surrounds. Inside, there are six-panel, four-panel, and wide-boarded doors, and a staircase with winders and twisted balusters.
