Description

Grey's House, located at 57 Main Street in Pathhead, is a late 18th century house that was remodeled around 1876. It is a two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan structure built of coursed rubble, featuring part long and short quoins, projecting cills, and a tympan gable.

The southwest elevation is symmetrical with a regular arrangement of windows. The doorway is slightly off-center to the right and has chamfered arrises, a later four-panel door, and a small glazed fanlight above. There is an inset circular sundial stone above the door and a blind door to the left. The flanking windows have projecting lower cills and chamfered arrises on the right window. On the first floor, there are three regularly placed bays with projecting starts, tails, and jambs, and a keystone detail on the top cill of the central bay. The flanking architraved windows are positioned high at the eaves. The tympan gable features a projecting stone plaque dated 1876 with "GRAYS HOUSE" carved in relief near the gablehead, along with stone skews and gablet skewputts with rolled tops, and long and short quoins on the first floor to the left.

The northwest elevation has an adjoining single-storey cottage to the left, which is situated slightly downhill. It features plain stone skews and skewputts, a coursed stone stack with neck cope, and five plain cans.

The northeast elevation was not seen in 2000, and the southeast elevation has an adjoining two-storey house to the right, which abuts its gable and utilizes its skews.

The house has four-pane timber sash and case glazing, with the upper two panes smaller than the lower ones. It is topped with a grey slate roof and has painted cast-iron rainwater goods, with a downpipe located to the right on the main elevation. The interior was not seen in 2000.
