Description
Monks Hall and Cottage, along with the attached garden walls and gatepiers, is a house that has been divided into two residences. It dates from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The building is constructed from coursed gritstone rubble, featuring gritstone dressings and quoins. It has a stone slate roof adorned with moulded stone copings and kneelers at the gables, as well as a stone gable end stack to the south, a large stone ridge stack, a rear side wall stone stack, and a stone stack on the ridge of the advanced bay.
The structure is two storeys high and exhibits irregular fenestration. There is a flush quoined chamfered doorcase with a plank door located on the south side. To the north, there is a wide advanced bay that includes a four-light recessed and chamfered mullion and transom window on the south side, a central recessed and chamfered single light fire window, and to the north, a 20th-century two-light mullion window set in a flush quoined former doorcase. Above the advanced bay, there is a central five-light recessed and chamfered mullion window, and above the southern door, a 19th-century two-light recessed and chamfered mullion window. All windows feature leaded lights.
Attached to the north is the cottage, which has an inserted doorcase to the north with a plank door and a three-light recessed and chamfered mullion window on the south side. Above this, in a gabled dormer, there is a 20th-century two-light recessed and chamfered mullion window. The north gable wall of the cottage features a three-light 18th-century flush mullion window, a 20th-century window to the west, and one three-light and one two-light 17th-century recessed and chamfered mullion window above. There is also a blocked single light recessed and chamfered mullion window in the gable above. The main house has a partly blocked, recessed and chamfered mullion and transom stair window on the rear side.
