Description
Grey Friars is a house with an adjoining boundary wall, built around 1800 and raised and extended in the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick with stone dressings and features hipped roofs made of concrete tiles and pantiles. The building has cogged eaves and three side wall stacks. It is three storeys high and has a two-window range in an L-plan layout. The front of the house has two tall glazing bar sashes that are painted to resemble Gothic glazing bars, each with a rubbed brick head and a D-shaped balcony with an iron railing. Above these, there are two small glazing bar sashes. To the right, there is a flat-roofed wooden lattice porch that covers a mid-19th century half-glazed door, while to the left, there is a plain sash window. At the rear, there is a two-storey wing with a pantile roof. The boundary wall is made of dwarf brick and features half-round brick and stone copings along with iron railings. There are two wrought iron gates and a square stone pier to the left.
