6 General Description Greylag House is a notably handsome Georgian B Listed former Manse built of warm red sandstone under a pitched and slate clad roof. The house has been in single ownership for the past 33 years and the sellers are currently building a contemporary one and a half storey house in the paddock to the northeast. The remaining gardens pertaining to Greylag House are about 1.95 acres The gardens are generous, mature and well established with extensive lawns sheltered by mature copper beech, yew, beech and sycamore as well as beech hedging and a wide variety of colourful shrubs. The principal entrance is in the south elevation and the panelled front door is surmounted by a fanlight and stone cornice and opens into a vestibule tiled floor and inner part glazed door with glazed side panels to a handsome entrance hall with distinctive black and white tiled floor flooring, feature archway and cornice and understair cupboard (currently used as wine cellar). On entering the entrance hall, the doorway to the drawing room is on the left and this handsome room has a stone fireplace with solid fuel stove as its focal point as well as attractive period features such as cornicing, picture rail and window shutters. A doorway leads to the AMDEGA conservatory with its tiled floor. Opposite the drawing room is the dining room, again with period features including window shutters, cornice, picture rail and fireplace. To the rear of the dining room lies the sitting room, again with cornice and window shutters; a rear passage with tiled floor leads in turn to cloakroom with WC and good storage, kitchen (E & W) with double aspect to the west, extensive fitted units and a two oven, oil fired Rayburn. Integral to the kitchen is a breakfast area (W) also with plumbing for washing machine and double stainless steel sink.
