Description
Monmouth House is a late 18th-century house in a row, with a shop front dating from 1888. It is likely that it was originally built as a pair with the adjacent property at No. 3. The building is constructed of painted ashlar with a slate roof.
The exterior is four storeys high, with a single bay. The upper floors contain a small plain sash window in the attic, a smaller tripartite plain sash window with a cast-iron balconette above it, and a Venetian window on the first floor featuring Doric columns and an entablature, with a balconette on the centre light. The ground floor has a full-width shop front with a recessed door (altered in 1888) and a further glazed door with diagonal glazing bars, positioned to the right, under a deep transom light. A moulded cornice runs above the second floor, extending continuously from No. 3. There is a small cornice to the attic, with a blocking course and parapet. A large, deep stack rises to a coped gable on the left.
During an inspection in 1981, an early 19th-century four-panelled door was noted, although little else of the interior remains. The building was occupied by Charles Sealey, a grocer and provision merchant, in 1888.
