Description
Grays is a house dating from the late 16th century, which was possibly destroyed by fire in 1798 and subsequently rebuilt in the late 18th century or early 19th century. The building is timber-framed and plastered, featuring a plain tiled mansard roof. It has a large 16th-century chimney stack with three reduced octagonal shafts, and a small stone sundial is set into the south wall of the stack. There is a red brick gable end stack on the left side. The house has one storey and an attic, with a closed, gabled porch entrance located in the lobby entry position. It includes one flat-roofed dormer window and three ground floor casement windows with glazing bars.
