Description

Greystones is a house dating from around 1800, constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with a stone slate roof. It has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys tall with three bays. The windows feature stone lintels and sills, with plain reveals. All windows have glazing bars, except for the middle one on the first floor. Most windows have horizontal sliding sashes, except for the left-hand window on the ground floor, which is a 20th-century replacement. Above the door in the middle bay, there is a re-ret plaque inscribed with 'TBM 1692'. The door itself has a plain stone surround. The house has chimneys on the gables, with the right-hand chimney featuring two caps.

Local climate

Greystones sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,160 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
