Description
Annfield and Muneroy are a pair of later 19th-century semi-detached houses, accompanied by a single-storey and attic wing named Benroy projecting to the southeast. The houses have two storeys and four bays, while Benroy has two bays. They were constructed with stugged squared and snecked sandstone ashlar walls, polished ashlar details, and coursed rubble walls at the sides and rear, all with ashlar dressings and projecting cills. The northwest elevation is blank and constructed of coursed rubble.
The rear elevation is near-symmetrical with five bays, featuring two closely-spaced windows on the ground floor of the central bay, flanked by single-storey, piend-roofed wings. A blank bay is located on the first floor's central section. Benroy’s principal front has two bays with an eaves course; an entrance door is on the outer left, and a tripartite window is on the right. A blank gabled end faces southeast.
The ground floor of the central bays of Annfield and Muneroy has paired entrance doors with bracketted cornices above. Semicircular bow windows with sloping cills are in the outer bays, and a lintel course runs along the ground floor. Modern glazing is present on Muneroy. Annfield's principal front has plate glass timber sash and case windows, while the rear has 4-pane timber sash and case windows. Benroy’s windows are also 4-pane timber sash and case with plate glass sidelights. Both Annfield and Muneroy have 4-panel, 2-leaf timber entrance doors. Annfield’s interior door is panelled with etched glass in the upper section and a rectangular fanlight above.
The principal roof is grey slate and bellcast, featuring a lead platform at the center and curved projections over the bow windows. It also has overhanging eaves with a timber soffit and profiled cast-iron gutters. Piend-roof dormers are located flanking the rear wallhead stack. Benroy’s roof is also grey slate, with a large, slightly canted, piend-roofed, slate-hung timber dormer on the right side of the principal pitch, featuring a 4-pane timber sash and case window, plate glass sidelights, and a wrought-iron finial at the apex. A matching dormer is on the rear pitch. A small, barrel-vaulted, lead-covered dormer with modern glazing is on the left side, with a profiled gutter at the eaves. Rubble wallhead stacks with ashlar dressings, copes, and circular cans center the side and rear elevations of Muneroy and Annfield. A matching stack is at the apex of Benroy’s south gable, with ashlar skews.
Boundary walls consist of a random rubble dwarf wall with an ashlar cope along Argyll Street. There are decorative cast-iron gate posts, and the original railings have been removed. A battered random rubble wall runs alongside Benroy, with a vertically-boarded timber door, and borders the north side of New Quay Street.
