Description

Grey Stone is a house with attached cottages and a barn, forming a long range that dates from the late 17th century to the early 19th century. The core of the building is the farmhouse, which consists of two cells with a third cell added to the left. Following the farmhouse is the barn, and then the cottage. The main range is constructed of large dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high, with a coped gable and kneelers.

The façade includes a two-light chamfered window without a mullion, situated above a two-light sash window. There is a doorway with composite jambs and a low arch lintel. The barn has a double chamfered mullioned window with six lights and a king mullion, alongside a four-light chamfered window that retains only the king mullion. A single-storey gabled porch, which is dated 1789, also features a double chamfered mullioned window of four lights that retains the king mullion, as well as a three-light chamfered mullioned window with one mullion removed.

The barn has a square-headed lintel and a semi-circular cart entry with composite jambs. There is also a doorway with composite jambs and a chamfered window that lacks mullions. The cottage is built from hammer-dressed stone and has a higher roofline than the main range. It features an early 19th-century doorway with monolithic jambs and a five-light flat-faced mullioned window above, both of which lack mullions. The cottage has a coped gable with moulded kneelers and includes two gable stacks, as well as two additional stacks on the ridge that were originally on the gables of the main house. The earliest deed for the property is dated 1675.
