Description

Grayshott House is a house dating from around 1700, with an early 18th-century bay to the left and various extensions from the 18th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed from coursed rubble limestone with dressed quoins and features a stone slate roof that is hipped to the right. There are two external stone chimney stacks at the rear. The house has two storeys and an attic, with five original bays.

The windows are wooden cross casements, which were renewed in the 20th century, and have flat stone arches. The ground floor arches are partially recessed with raised ends and key blocks. The windows on the right side of the ground floor have been altered in the 20th century, featuring raised sills and 20th-century two-light wooden casements. The upper right window is blocked, while the early 18th-century bay to the left has matching fenestration, with its upper window also blocked.

A large 20th-century gabled stone porch has been added to the original centre, concealing a wide half-glazed door framed in an architrave. Above the porch is a plaque from the Liverpool and London Globe fire insurance. There is a blocked doorway with a wooden lintel to the right of the 18th-century bay. At the left end, there is a lower bay with an end chimney and an old four-light leaded casement.

The rear of the house features attic dormers, overhanging eaves on the early 18th-century bay, a hipped wing from the 18th to early 19th century, and single-storey extensions from the 20th century. The interior has been altered but retains high ceilings with heavy stop-chamfered spine beams and joists in the left bays, which may have been reset. There are traces of a very large chimney stack at the left end of the main block, along with altered fireplaces and stairs.
