Description

St Hilda's Garth is a house, now serving as a Family Resource Centre, built in 1848 for Joseph Munby, a solicitor. The building is constructed of yellow brick with stone dressings and features a hipped slate roof.

The main block is symmetrical, consisting of two storeys with a three-bay porch and one bay on each side. The windows are glazing bar sashes, and the ground-floor windows in the outer bays have stone panels below their sills. The central window above the porch is blind, and there is a small inserted first-floor window on the far left. The wide ashlar porch is supported by two Tuscan columns in antis, which hold up raised segmental arches. Inside the porch, there are two sashed windows with segmental heads, flanking a doorway that has a divided four-panel door and an overlight with a segmental top. The eaves are coved and sprocketed, and there are chimneys to the left and right of the centre along the ridge. To the left, there is a one-bay, two-storey link to a servants' wing, which has a front wall of one bay, flanked by pilaster strips and featuring pivoting windows with glazing bars. The interior has not been inspected.
