Monkton Hall

Monkton Hall is a house that has been converted into a psychiatric hospital. It was built in the third quarter of the 18th century, with a rainwater head dated 1763. The building is rendered and features a Welsh slate roof. It has two storeys and five windows with raised surrounds, along with raised quoins and parapet bands.

The main elevation includes a 20th-century porch that encloses a central rusticated doorway. Above this doorway, there is a round sundial dated 1773, and the building has sash windows. The roof is steeply pitched and has stone-coped parapets at the gables, with two end corniced brick chimneys.

Inside, the hallways and one principal room feature dentilled cornices. There is an open well staircase with a cut string, two turned balusters on each step, and a curved section handrail. The interior also retains some original architraves and an ogee-headed staircase window with painted glass, set behind a wide arch supported by columns.
