Description
Cray House is a late 18th-century building located on Bexley High Street. It is two storeys high with an attic and features three windows along the front, as well as three dormers that have lead roofs. The structure is made of brown brick, accented with red brick splayed heads around the windows, which retain their original glazing bars. The central doorway is framed by a moulded architrave and topped with an open modillioned pediment supported by shaped brackets. There is an extension on the ground floor to the east that includes two additional windows.
