Description

Graystone is a late 18th to early 19th century farmhouse with minor alterations. It is a single-storey building with a later attic, featuring a long, rectangular plan. The farmhouse is symmetrically designed with a three-bay center and slightly lower attached agricultural outbuildings on either side. The exterior is made of limewashed rubble, partly harled, with flush painted architraves around the openings on the principal northwest elevation. The farmhouse has coped skews.

On the northwest elevation, the farmhouse is centrally located, with a main entrance flanked by windows on the ground floor and attic. The attic features later 19th-century polygonal piended dormers. To the left of the farmhouse is an attached range thought to include a milking parlour or byre, with a standard entrance to the right that adjoins the farmhouse. There are two windows to the left, with the right window being smaller. The attached range to the right includes a barn with a hayloft, which is largely blank except for entrances on the right and outer left, the latter adjoining the farmhouse and featuring small low flanking windows and a shallow opening above.

The southwest elevation shows the gable end of the barn with a pitching window. On the southeast elevation, there are remains of a circular-plan former threshing mill to the left.

The farmhouse has 2-pane timber sash and case windows, with grey slate roofs and partly corrugated asbestos on the outbuildings. There are coped gablehead stacks on either side of the farmhouse. The interior was not inspected in 1999.
