Description
The Grey House, including the garden wall and railings, is an 18th-century house that was refronted in the early 19th century, with the garden wall and railings likely added in the mid-19th century. The house is constructed of red brick with a colourwashed rusticated stucco front and features a Welsh slate roof with brick end stacks. It has a band, cornice, stone-coped gables, and a parapet. The building is two storeys tall and has three 2/2 sash windows on the upper floor and two on the ground floor, all with moulded architraves, with the ground floor windows having eared architraves. The central doorcase is adorned with pilasters and features a six-panelled door with an overlight. There is a two-storey extension on the left end of the house that has a 2/2 sash window. Inside, there is an 18th-century staircase. Extending from the front right corner of the house is a red brick garden wall with brick and terracotta coping, standing approximately 2 to 3 meters high. This wall runs along Church Road in front of the house and transitions into cast-iron railings topped with fleur-de-lys finials. There is also a central pedestrian gate with a scroll pattern and flat side piers.
