Description

The Former Kennels at Greystones is a single-storey building dating from the 19th century. It features a central cross-gable and is constructed of purple-coloured brick with rock-faced dressings. The coped gables rest on moulded kneelers and are topped with slate roofs. Each gable has fleur de lys finials that include John Naylor's monogram (ICN) in relief. On the ridge, there are three polygonal lead vents, which are now boarded, and have swept roofs.

The cross-gable has a doorway with a rock-faced lintel and a boarded overlight, but no door is present. In the attic, there is a small sash window set in a stone surround. To the right of the cross-gable, there are two doorways similar to that of the cross-gable, both with boarded doors that include small hatches and overlights. To the left of the cross-gable, there is one similar door and an inserted projection that serves as a garage. The gable ends feature attic windows that resemble those of the cross-gable; the left gable also has an integral lean-to with modern openings.

At the rear of the building, there are five windows with small sashes positioned above a rubble stone boundary wall. Additionally, there is a brick south wing that is a lean-to against the boundary wall. This wing has two doorways with stone surrounds at the front and two sash windows at the rear, but it has been mostly rebuilt. The building was not accessible during the inspection period from November 1996 to January 1997.
