8 Panmure Place, Montrose

8 Panmure Place in Montrose is a late 19th-century, single-storey and attic, asymmetrical cottage-style house. The front is finished in sandstone ashlar, while the sides and rear are made of squared and snecked stone, featuring contrasting margins and ashlar dressings, with raised quoins. The painted timber barge boards are adorned with scroll ornamentation.

The principal elevation includes a four-step stone flight leading to an entrance door located in an advanced, gabled porch. This door is broad and has nine panels, accompanied by a rectangular fanlight, a rooflight, and a pedimented bipartite dormer above. To the right, there is a gabled bay with a canted window on the ground floor, a cornice, and a parapet topped with ball finials. Above, there is a corniced window at the first floor, featuring a strapwork pediment. To the left, a set-back bay has a projecting tripartite bay window at ground level, a blocking course, and a stone dormer window above with a segmental-arched head and a stone finial, all under a tile-hung, four-sided elongated French pavilion roof.

The north elevation has two bays offset to the left with boarded windows and a gable above. The south elevation features a blank two-bay wall with a band course and a gable to the right. The west elevation has four windows at the ground floor, with a large dormer breaking the eaves at the center, tall windows, and flanking dormers.

The house has four-pane timber sash and case windows, with plate glass in the tripartite window at the front and a three-light dormer at the center of the rear. The roofs are covered in graded grey slate, with pitched roofs on the north and dormers, and a piended roof on the west. The pavilion roof features cast-iron brattishing. There are shouldered ashlar stacks on the ridges of the gabled projections to the north and south, and a corbelled stack rising from the eaves to the south.

The interior was not seen in 1998. The property is enclosed by low coped stone boundary walls to the north, south, and east, which enclose the garden, and there are rubble and brick walls to the north and south at the rear.
