Description
Gritstone House is an early 19th-century building located on the north side of Greaves Lane in Ashford in the Water. It is constructed of coursed, squared, dressed gritstone, with rendered gable end walls. The roof is modern, covered with tiles and features a stone ridge. The gables are stone-coped with moulded kneelers, and there is a plain eaves band and a first-floor sill band. The house has stone gable end stacks with plain banding.
This three-storey building has three bays. The central entrance features a doorcase with a semi-circular head, flanked by plain pilasters and topped with a bracketed stone hood. The door itself is raised and fielded panelled, with a traceried fanlight above. On either side of the entrance, there are glazing bar sashes in plain surrounds, with three similar windows above and three shallower sashes at the eaves. The property also includes an attached garden wall.
