5 Chapel Place, Montrose

5 Chapel Place is a mid-19th century, two-storey, five-bay house designed in an L-plan. The front is constructed of sandstone ashlar, while the sides and rear are finished with lined render. The building features a base course, a band course above the ground floor, a central wallhead chimney gable, and chamfered margins.

On the east (principal) elevation, there is a central doorpiece with a cornice and consoles, leading to a four-panel door topped with a rectangular fanlight. Above this, at the first floor, is a window, flanked by two symmetrical bays at both the ground and first floors.

The north elevation has a gable end on the left, with a window positioned off-set to the right at both the ground and first floors. This elevation connects to another house extending west.

The south elevation features a blank gable end on the right and a three-bay connection to the left, forming the L-plan. There is a doorway located centrally at the first floor.

The west elevation shows three bays of the front house to the right, with two off-set bays to the left, including a stone mullioned bipartite window in the centre bay at the first floor. The gable end of the connecting house is on the left.

The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case. The roofs are pitched with grey slate, featuring stone skews and skewputts, and an ashlar chimney gable. There are rendered gablehead stacks to the north and south with polygonal cans, and brick gablehead stacks to the east and west of the connecting house.

The interior was not seen in 1998. The property is enclosed by a dry-dashed and coped boundary wall to the south, which includes a door on the right.
