Description

Conygree is a pair of estate cottages that have been converted into a house. They were built in the mid-18th century, remodeled in 1796, and altered in the mid-19th century, with further changes made in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features a concrete pantile roof. It has a central ridge stack and two gable stacks, all made of brick with stone coping and square raised bosses. The gables are coped with kneelers and ball finials.

The structure is two stories high and has a four-window range. Most of the windows have stone mullions and brick flat arches. The front of the building features eaves with stone modillions and four two-light windows, which have mostly been reglazed. Above these windows are Renaissance Revival style blank dormers that have volutes and ball finials, each with a blank raised panel. Below the windows, there are two cross mullioned windows, with an ashlar doorcase to the left that has panelled pilasters, scroll brackets, and a broken segmental pediment topped with a ball finial on a bracket. To the right, there is another ashlar doorcase with a double keystone, which has been partly blocked and altered to a window.

The rear of the building features dentillated brick eaves, and the rear and side elevations have mid-20th century windows. This building is noted for being the most elaborate of those constructed or altered around 1790-1820 by George de Ligne Gregory and later modified around 1820-1840 by Gregory Gregory, who were successive Lords of the Manor of Harlaxton.
