Greyladyes

Greyladyes is a large house, dating from the late 18th century and early 19th century, and now divided into separate units. The south front (numbers 9 and 10) is two storeys high and consists of five windows, built of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern with blue headers. It has a parapet with rubbed flat arches. A large, semi-circular ground floor extension projects to the east, featuring three French windows. The east front (numbers 7, 8, 9) has a severe, early 19th century classical design resembling the work of John Soane, though with an irregular arrangement of 2, 3, 1 windows. The first section, two stories high, has two bays separated by coupled pilasters; the windows are tall with delicate wrought-iron balconies on the first floor. A projecting porch and entrance are located in the second bay. The second section is bow-shaped, with windows separated by single pilasters. The third section is three stories high, again with coupled pilasters. The fourth section is also three stories high, with single pilasters, and includes a two-story semi-circular bow at the northernmost bay. The parapet has a simple cornice with plain modillion blocks at the top of the pilasters, featuring Greek Doric stone caps but no bases. The roof is slate-hipped, and the brickwork is of yellow brick in a Flemish bond. The windows are sash windows set in reveals.
