Statement of Significance

Residence, 25 Grey Street is significant as a representative example of Federation bungalow architecture in a prominent location, overlooking Faversham House and tow. Both individually and together with the neighbouring 23 Grey Street of the same period, it makes a significant contribution to the historic townscape of York.

Physical Description

The residence is located on an expansive site and partially obscured from view by a front boundary fence and mature plantings. It is elevated, with several steps at the front gate, half way along the path through the landscaped garden and several more steps with curved top balusters up to the veranda and the central front door. The single-story residence has a hipped roof with gablets each end of the ridge and tall face brick chimneys with corbelling behind. The broad frontage seems to be symmetrical and evidence face stretcher bond brickwork. There is a bullnose veranda supported by turned timber posts that extends across the frontage and down both sides of the residence.
