Description
15 High Street in Montrose is a large T-plan house built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It has three storeys and an attic, with a harled exterior and plain margins.
On the south elevation, the house is adjacent to 13 High Street on the west. To the left, there is a bay with an entrance at the ground level that is shared with No 13. The right side features a dormer that breaks the eaves and an advanced section with a bowed return, which has a shuttered opening at the ground level. The three bays to the right are arranged irregularly, with a door on the left at ground level and a square, multi-pane fanlight window to the right. The first and second floors have symmetrical windows, and the right bay includes a round-arched doorway at ground level with a radial fanlight and a moulded frame, though it has a replacement door. A tall window runs from the first to the second floor, lighting a staircase that is offset to the right, with a dormer above that breaks the eaves. The advanced gable end on the right has a window offset to the left at ground level.
The east elevation is the main front of the house and features a symmetrical design with two bays. It has prominent bowed dormers with conical roofs that break the eaves, creating a tower-like effect.
The north elevation is obscured by a closely built two-storey building, with a blank gable end of the east-facing house rising above to the left.
The windows are timber sash and case, with 12 panes on the east front and a 36-pane window in the staircase, with variations elsewhere. The roof is covered in grey slate, and there are stone skews and brick gablehead stacks on the north and south sides of the eastern section and on the west side of the main section.
The interior was not seen in 1997. The property is enclosed by rubble stone boundary walls that surround the garden and extend to the east, with a wrought-iron gate at the entrance to the garden.
