The building has a rectangular double-depth plan beneath a two-span roof. It stands two storeys tall and has five bays. The symmetrical facade includes a central doorway, which is accessed by four steps and framed by prominent pilasters with entablatures and a moulded cornice. The door is a six-panel design with a traceried overlight that has an oval shape crossed by diagonals. On the ground floor, there are four 12-pane sashed windows, while the upper floor has five 9-pane sashes. The eaves project, and the hipped two-span roof has two chimneys situated between the ridges.
On the left side of the building, there is a two-storey canted bay at the rear, featuring three 12-pane sashes on each floor. The rear of the house has a door with margin panes and an overlight similar to the front, along with 12- and 9-pane sashed windows arranged asymmetrically. The interior has not been inspected. Dr. Thomas Monro, who lived from 1759 to 1833 and was a patron of artists, hosted notable figures such as Turner, Girtin, and De Wint at this house.
