Description
Monkhouse Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the early 19th century. It features a façade made of Ham stone ashlar, with coursed rubble on the sides and rear, and a Welsh slate roof that has stepped coped gables. The building has brick chimney stacks at each end and stands two storeys tall with three bays. The windows are hollow-chamfered mullioned, all three-light, set in chamfered recesses with labels, and have iron-framed opening lights. There is a plain doorway with a beaded surround located at the lower bay 2, which is accessed by three steps leading up to a boarded door. A single-storey lean-to is attached to the west gable, featuring a small casement window above. The interior has not been seen.
