Greyholme

Greyholme is a detached house dating from around 1907 to 1910. It is a rare example of an Arts and Crafts influenced design within a fashionable residential suburb developed in the early 1900s, and is similar in style to the nearby Grange Leigh. The house is constructed with finely masoned sandstone that imitates brickwork, using a traditional method. Key features include a slight outward batter to the wall face, deep overhanging eaves, a broad, fully gabled front, and a battered, coped chimney stack on the side. The gable is simply finished with a shallow cavetto coping rising from short parapets, topped with ball finials instead of kneelers. The facade displays slight asymmetry, with a two-storey canted bay to the right of the entrance; the parapet above this bay is shaped and ramped. A recessed porch has a lintel with shaped panels. The windows are leaded iron casements within square mullioned frames.
