Flowers House With Adjacent Gate Piers

Flowers House, now used as offices, is a town house likely built in the late 18th century. It features local stone that is cut and squared, with ashlar dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof between coped gables, supported by two end and one off-centre stone chimney stacks. The three-storey facade has five bays, with a central doorway that is accessed by three steps. The doorway has a five-panel door, with the upper four panels glazed, set in a painted stone surround topped by a shallow cornice mould hood supported by plain console brackets. The windows on each level have simple architraves; however, the ground floor windows have lost their glazing bars, while the first and second floors feature 12-pane windows. There is a stone plinth with a modern cellar window to the right of the doorway, a stone band at the second floor level, and a simple cornice at the top with a low parapet wall above. The centre window on the first floor has a lugged and heeled architrave. The interior has not been seen. To the left of the house, there are two capped stone gate piers that flank a side entrance. The building was formerly Henry Monk's private grammar school in the late 19th century and later became the home of Dr. Flower.
