Description
4A-4B South Gray Street is a classical house built around 1815, featuring a modern addition to the south. The building is two stories high and has three bays, with a symmetrical design. It is constructed from droved cream sandstone with ashlar dressings, while the sides and rear are made of rubble. Notable architectural details include a base course, channelled quoins at the ground level, a cill course for the first-floor windows, a dentilled cornice, and a blocking course.
On the east elevation, there is a central doorway with a panelled door and a three-pane fanlight, framed by pilasters and paterae that support a corniced doorpiece. Above this, there is a single window on the first floor, with additional single windows in both floors of the remaining bays. The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case style. The roof is piended and covered with grey slate, featuring corniced wallhead stacks.
The interior was not seen in 1996.
The property is enclosed by boundary walls, which include a low, coursed, and coped rubble wall along the street, a high rendered wall adjoining the house to the north, and a high rubble wall to the south. There is a pedestrian gate next to the house on the south side, along with a modern cast iron gate that provides access to 4A South Gray Street.
