Monksbridge

Monksbridge is a house dating from the mid- to late 18th century, with additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of brown brick, with pebbledash cladding to the ground floor, rendered stucco dressings, and hipped, Mansard slate roofs. The building is rectangular, and sits at right angles to the street, with a further extension to the left, facing the street. The rear, river-facing elevation rises to three storeys due to a drop in ground level.

The entrance front has five bays and features a plat band above the ground floor and extending to the pediment. Sash windows with glazing bars are present throughout; the first floor windows have round-arched, blind-panel surrounds, while the ground floor has a single sash window and a casement window. The central door consists of six fielded panels, topped with a tracery transom light, and is surrounded by attached, fluted, Roman Doric half-columns in antis, beneath a lintel frieze featuring wreaths and garlands. Two flights of steps, arranged in a Sedan pattern, lead to the entrance, with 20th-century square piers supporting urns and wrought iron railings. A two-storey extension to the left of the street elevation has an eaves cornice and parapet. The street elevation also features three blocked, cambered-head windows to the first floor, a tripartite sash window, and another sash window in the angle.

The rear elevation has flat-roofed dormers, one either side of a central round-arched dormer. The centre bay projects forward with a "Venetian" window on the first floor, featuring a corbelled sill, and flanking sash windows to the right, extending down through a string course above the ground floor. Single-storey extensions project from the ground floor. The river elevation is bowed over a basement and includes a cornice above the first floor and a plat band below. It has three 15-pane, glazing-bar sash windows on each floor of the bow.

Internally, the house features stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. In the 1920s, the house was reportedly frequently visited by the Duke of Windsor, then Prince of Wales.
