Description
Greystones is a detached house that consists of three sections. The left section is an early 18th century house, which may include some early 17th century elements. The central section was added around 1920 in a traditional style, while the right section comprises two former outbuildings that are likely from the 18th century.
The left range features rubble stone walls and a slate roof with coped gables and stone end stacks that have been raised in brick. It is two storeys high and has an original doorway with a moulded surround, which has been blocked to accommodate an oval window. The ground floor includes three stone mullioned windows with lead lights; two of these have flat mullions, while one is a 19th century replacement with chamfered mullions. The first floor has five flat mullioned windows with lead lights.
The central block has a gable end facing the road, with rubble stone walls up to the first floor level and tile-hanging above, featuring some fish-scale tiles. It has a double Roman tiled roof with a coped gable and a stone porch that has a hipped tiled roof, overlapping the earlier left range. The porch has a four-centred arched opening and an oak ledged door. In the gable, the ground floor has a stone mullioned window that matches those in the left range, and the first floor has one casement window with glazing bars.
The right range is divided into two sections. The left section, now part of the house, has rubble stone walls and a double Roman tiled roof. It is single-storey and features one 20th century stone mullioned window with a hoodmould, an oval window in a blocked doorway, and a small round window. To the right, there is a lower range of similar construction that is now used as a garage, which includes double garage doors, an oak ledged door, and one casement window with glazing bars.
Inside the left range, there are two ground floor rooms that have large open fireplaces with timber lintels and jambs, suggesting an early 17th century date, along with some chamfered ceiling beams.
