Description

Greylands is a 19th-century house featuring a distinctive entrance front with a gable to the left, which connects to a service range. The gable has a steeply pitched roof that slopes down to the right over an open porch located at the rear of the main range. This gable includes a square attic window, a long stair light with a mullion and two transoms, and two square windows. The ground floor showcases a narrow light to the left, two small basement lights in the center, and a square window to the right, which is not aligned with the one above. Below the downswept roof, there is an impressive porch with a white painted stone surround, chamfered jambs, and a moulded segmental arch. The porch is accessed by three stone steps, has a tiled floor, and features a panelled entrance door on the left wall with leaded lights. The house is built on a rubble stone plinth.

To the left of the gable, the service wing has a lower ridge line, roughcast canted eaves, and irregular fenestration. The main house, to the right of the gable, has canted roughcast eaves and painted flush angle quoins. The end gable features a flush mullion 2-light attic window, a 5-light first floor window, and a ground floor canted bay raised on two columns, which is roughcast with a flat parapet and 1-4-1 lights.

The garden front presents a long two-storey facade that overlooks a raised terrace, with irregular mullion windows and flush quoins. The first floor has a single light to the left, above a ground floor 2-light window that is not aligned. There is an off-centre first floor 5-light window above a parapeted canted bay with a front French window and side-lights, followed by a first floor 4-light window to the right above a door and window. Behind the service range is a low single-storey L-plan range with a gable at the south-west angle.

Inside, the stair hall features a twisted baluster staircase and a plastered beam adorned with vine decoration in the Arts and Crafts style.
