34 The Mall, Montrose

34 The Mall in Montrose is a late 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay house featuring classical detailing. The front is finished in pale ashlar, while the sides and rear are constructed from red sandstone that is squared and coursed. The building has a base course and a band course below the first floor, along with overhanging eaves, gables, and exposed rafter ends. The margins are raised.

On the west elevation, the central bay contains the entrance at ground level, which has architraved margins, a rectangular fanlight, and a panelled door. Above the entrance is an ornately carved timber canopy topped with diamond-pattern grey slates. A window with a gabled head that breaks the eaves is centred above the entrance on the first floor. To the right, there is an advanced three-light window with pilaster mullions and diamond-pattern slates. Above this window, there is a stone-mullioned bipartite window with a gabled head breaking the eaves. To the left, the advanced gable end features a pilaster mullioned canted window at ground level, also with diamond-pattern slates, and a stone-mullioned bipartite window above it, along with a carved square panel in the gable head.

The south elevation showcases a gable end with three windows at ground level and two windows on the first floor. The north elevation mirrors this with a gable end, three windows at ground level, and two on the first floor, plus a window in a single-storey section to the left that connects to a modern two-storey addition.

The east elevation is dry-dashed and features a piended two-storey addition offset to the right, with a stone flight and platt leading to the entrance on the left. There is also a window at ground floor level of the original building to the left.

The house has timber sash and case windows with plate glass, a grey slate roof, and wrought-iron finials on the west-facing gables. The cornice features ashlar gablehead stacks with a full complement of square-section cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods are present.

Inside, the principal rooms boast decorative plasterwork. The boundary walls include a low-coped ashlar wall at the front and rubble walls at the rear, with a driveway leading to the entrance on Rosehill Road, which is marked by rendered square-section gatepiers.
