Description
Greyfriars North, Greyfriars South, and Regency House is a house that has been divided into three houses, built around 1825. It was subdivided around 1870, during which alterations included the addition of a third storey to the center block and extensions to the entrances. The building is constructed of red brick with a gault-brick front and features slate hipped roofs with brick stacks.
The exterior consists of a three-storey, three-window center block flanked by single two-storey bays and single-storey entrance bays. The left entrance bay has a reset six-panel door with glazed top panels set within a moulded doorcase, topped with a pierced parapet. The right entrance bay features a porch on its right return, with a front that includes a six-over-six unhorned sash window with louvred shutters and a plain parapet. The center block has a full-height segmental bow with three six-over-six unhorned sashes on the ground and second floors, and on the first floor, there are three French windows that open onto a wrought-iron balcony. Each flanking bay has one six-over-six unhorned sash on both floors, and all windows are fitted with louvred shutters. The right return has a projecting porch supported by four rusticated brick piers on the ground floor, two French windows with shutters on the first floor, and a blind window to the right.
Inside, there is a staircase with a ramped and wreathed handrail, Regency marble chimneypieces, and panelled window shutters.
