Description
26 High Street in Montrose consists of three adjoining houses built in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The buildings are made of rubble stone, with some areas harled and others rendered, featuring plain margins.
The southeast elevation includes a three-storey house next to No 24, which has five bays and irregular window placement. There is a later addition of an attic storey, with a gablehead on the left and one window on the third floor to the right. To the left is a two-storey house made of rubble stone, symmetrical with three bays, featuring a central door and a window above, with additional windows on the ground and first floors. Further left is a 19th-century house with lined render, in an L-plan shape, which has a two-bay wing adjoining the neighbor. It has an architraved doorway on the left paired with a doorway for the east-facing wing, a pend to the left, and one window on the first floor above.
The northeast elevation, located in the close to 22 High Street, features a three-storey house of rubble stone with irregular window placements, some openings blocked and filled with brick. There is also a two-storey house that is symmetrical with three bays, a central door, and a window above, flanked by windows on the ground and first floors. Additionally, there is a 19th-century house with lined render, a single bay to the right, and a gablehead of a wing that was formerly L-plan above and to the right.
The buildings have various replacement timber sash and case windows, as well as modern windows. The roofs are covered with grey and brown slate, and there are brick gablehead stacks to the west of the three-storey house, to the west of the two-storey house, and to the east and west of the 19th-century house.
The interior was not seen in 1997. The property also features rubblestone boundary walls at the rear extending west.
