Description
Monklands is a house that is now used for commercial purposes. It was built in the early 19th century and is made of brick with a Welsh slate roof. The building has three storeys and features a central block with a five-window range, flanked by two-storey single bay wings. The central entrance has a stuccoed porch supported by Doric columns and a triglyph frieze beneath a balustraded parapet. On either side of the porch are arcaded round-arched windows, with a string course above that continues into the flanking wings, where it forms a pediment over Palladian windows. The upper windows are four-pane sashes with flat-arched gauged brick heads, while the central windows are framed in stressed stuccoed architraves. The building is topped with a moulded stone eaves cornice, and features curved coped gables with paired gable end stacks.
