Greystones

Greystones is a house, dating from the early 19th century. It was later converted into a public house and house, before being restored to a private house in the mid-20th century. The house is constructed of stone rubble with dressed quoins; the front elevation was likely rebuilt with a timber frame and is clad with large, irregular rag slates. The rear elevation incorporates timber framing above the first floor. The roof is covered with asbestos slates, featuring a gable end on the left and a hipped end on the right. There are brick and rendered projecting end stacks, and a projecting stone rubble rear lateral hall stack with a brick shaft.

The original plan probably consisted of three rooms with a through passage. The inner room and lower end were heated by end stacks, while the hall to the left of centre was heated by a rear lateral stack. Around the early 18th century, the lower end was remodelled into a parlour, and the passage was widened, likely in the early 19th century or earlier, with a staircase added to the right. The staircase appears to include reworked joinery from both the 18th and 19th centuries. A back kitchen or bakehouse was added to the rear right in the early 19th century, with a surviving cloam oven in the reduced rubble walls to the rear. A datestone, "I B B 1805," is visible on the rear lateral stack, suggesting it was rebuilt in the early 19th century, possibly contemporaneously with rebuilding of the front and rear walls above the first floor.

The two-storey front of the house has a regular four-window arrangement with large, irregular Delabole slates. The window frames were renewed in the late 20th century and contain 6-pane sashes. A 20th-century door is positioned on the left, followed by two sash windows, a 20th-century plank door, and a sash to the right. The entrance porch to the right of centre features two tapered granite columns, possibly dating from the 17th century, with moulded bases. The porch roof was renewed in the late 20th century with a flat top. Four sashes are located on the first floor.

Inside, the passage has been widened with a circa 19th-century staircase. The lower stage features thin stick balusters, a square newel, and a deep moulded rail, while the upper stage has thicker 18th-century stick balusters. The right-hand room has a bolection-moulded chimney-piece with a later 18th-century mantel shelf and a 20th-century grate. The internal doors are 18th-century two-panel designs. The roof has not been inspected.
