Description
Greystones is a house located on Nassington Station Road, dating from the 17th century and extended twice during that same century, with a datestone reading T.R. 1698, likely associated with the Rippon family. The house was remodeled in the late 18th century and partially remodeled and extended in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and features a Collyweston slate roof. Originally designed with a two-unit plan and a through passage, it now has an irregular T-shape.
The house has two storeys, with some parts featuring an attic. The main front consists of three bays, with the center bay projecting forward as a gabled cross-wing. The left bay is the original 17th-century section, remodeled in the late 18th century, and includes a one-window range of 19th-century sash windows beneath gauged stone heads. There is a 20th-century single-light casement window on the first floor to the right of this bay. The left bay also features a wooden dentil cornice.
The center cross-wing, which is also from the 17th century, was added to the original house and remodeled in the 19th century. It has a one-window range of 19th-century casements with glazing bars under shallow stone arches on both floors. The return wall of the cross-wing has a similar window. The right bay, dating to around 1698, has a lower eaves level and features a one-window range with a similar casement as the cross-wing on the ground floor and a plain casement under the eaves on the first floor to the left. There is a datestone in the gable end of this bay.
At the intersection of the left bay and the cross-wing, there is a 20th-century porch with a slate roof. The left bay has a raised band between the floors and a wooden dentilled cornice. This bay extends to the center of the range and features ashlar gable parapets, as well as one hipped roof dormer. The house has ashlar ridge and end stacks, along with a lateral brick stack on the cross-wing. The rear elevation includes 19th and 20th-century extensions. The interior has not been inspected.
