Description
Monmouth House is an early 18th-century facade applied to an older building. The main part of the house is constructed of red brick with a brick string course, long and short rusticated quoins, and a parapet featuring a moulded wooden cornice. It has a tiled roof, and brick chimney breasts on its east and west walls. The building is two storeys high with an attic containing three pedimented dormers. There are five windows with deeply recessed moulded frames, housing sashes with glazing bars, all painted. The doorway is rusticated and contains a door of six fielded panels.
A smaller, single-storey addition dates from around 1800, originally part of the house, but now used partly or wholly as offices for the Clerk to the Justices. This addition is of white brick with a cornice and parapet, and has a slate roof. It has three windows with sashes and glazing bars, and a round arched doorway with a semi-circular fanlight.
Monmouth House, along with its gate with overthrow, and Quadrille Court (including its boundary wall and gate), forms a group with numbers 39 to 43 and number 46 on the opposite side of the road, which is a building of local interest.
