1, 3 Wellington Place, Montrose

Dated 1868, 1, 3 Wellington Place is a terrace of two-storey and attic houses and apartments. The buildings display a variety of architectural details, including a corbelled corner bartizan and bowed stair towers to the rear. The front elevation, facing West (the principal elevation), is asymmetrical. Number 1 is situated to the right, featuring a central doorway flanked by two windows at ground floor, with three windows above. Raised and lugged margins are used on the upper floor windows. A corner bartizan rises above ground floor, topped with a crenellated parapet, a patterned slate conical roof, and a weather-vane finial. Number 2 is to the left, with a consoled and corniced doorpiece that originally framed two entrances, but now contains a window and door. It has two ground floor windows and one first-floor window, with an off-set stone mullioned tripartite window to the left. Two later dormers have been added to the left, while number 4 has a pend entrance with a heavily carved gabled doorpiece, an elongated pediment dated 1868, and a finial. This is flanked by two first-floor windows, with the left window now blinded. A dormer sits above. Numbers 5 and 6 also feature a consoled and corniced doorpiece framing two entrances, with four-panel doors and a blinded stone-mullioned tripartite window above. Ground and first-floor windows flank the doorpiece, with a small additional ground floor window to the right, and two canted dormers above.

The North elevation is a gable end featuring a small window at ground level. The South elevation, also is a gable end, with a central doorway, cornice, chamfered margins, a rectangular two-pane fanlight, and a four-panel door. A corbelled corner tower is positioned at first floor on the left.

The East elevation shows three projecting bowed stair towers, each with a tall window at first floor, and windows at ground and first floors in the flanking bays. An entrance to Number 3 is located in a return, with consoles, a cornice, chamfered margins, a narrow rectangular two-pane fanlight, and a panelled door. Two modern flat-roofed dormers are to the right.

The windows are timber sash and case with four panes and plate glass. The roofs are covered in grey slate, with crowstep gables to the South and coped skews to the North. Coped ashlar gableheads and ridge stacks are present, with battered coping to the South gablehead, and a full complement of polygonal cans. The gutter is profiled and features stays.

Coped rubble stone boundary walls are located to the North and South at the rear. A square-section gatepier with a pyramidal cap and two-leaf timber gates marks the entrance to Number 3 on the South side.
