Greyfriars

Greyfriars is a house, later converted into flats, built in the late 18th century with a mid-19th century extension and alterations in the late 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a concrete, plain tile roof and bonnet hips. The front is three storeys with attics and originally formed one of a pair of houses with the adjacent property. The front elevation has a rendered plinth, a moulded eaves cornice with modillions. The ground floor has a pair of plain sash windows. The first floor has two tall sash windows with glazing bars, and the second floor has two smaller, similar windows, all with flat, rubbed brick wedge lintels. A single glazing bar sash dormer window with a gabled lead roof and cheeks sits in the front roof slope. A three-storey, three-bay addition dating to the mid-19th century is to the left. An original eight-panel door with sidelights sits under a broad segmental arch. A large, late 19th-century oriel window, with exposed joists, a panelled top frieze, plain sashes, and a swept leaded roof, is centrally positioned on the first floor, flanked by single blank openings. The second floor of the addition has three sash windows with glazing bars and wedge lintels. Later 19th-century additions are at the rear. The interior retains some plaster panelling and details from the mid-19th century phase.
