Description
Greys is a house, now divided, built in 1910 by Forsyth and Maule and partly rebuilt in 1922. It is constructed of coursed Bargate stone with tile on edge dressings and features a plain tiled roof that is taller to the right and hipped. The building consists of two ranges, extended at the ends, with the entrance located at the junction. It has two storeys with attics in the gables and under the hipped roof, which includes casement dormers. There are tall stacks at both ends and across the ridge at the front.
The entrance front showcases projecting gabled bays with corbelled eaves at either end and a double gable to the left of centre. Each gable has a single tile-edged opening at the apex. The windows are wood framed leaded casements, with one on the first floor of the end gables under cambered heads and six across the first floor at eaves height to the left of centre. There is a tall staircase window under an arched head on the first floor to the left, and three eaves windows on the first floor to the right. The ground floor features four windows to the left of centre, two under arches, and a large five-light window under a cambered head to the right. A projecting double gabled entrance porch with a patterned door is located at the right corner, beneath a three-step arched hood moulding.
The garden front has three gabled bays with corbelled eaves, with an angle bay to the left in a recessed range that rises through two floors. Each gable has one attic window under a stilted arched head, with four hipped roof dormers to the left and two to the right. Each gabled bay has one casement window under a cambered head on both floors, while the angle bay features stone-dressed casements across both floors, with mullioned and transomed windows on the ground floor. There are metal casement doors on either side of the angle bay and a further 20th-century door to the right in the porch recess, flanking a catslide extension of the main roof. Additionally, there are single-storey extensions at the right end.
