Description
2 Lower Monk Street is a three-storey building constructed from rendered and painted rubblestone, topped with a natural slate roof. It features a double depth central entrance plan and a large rear wing. The façade has five windows and plain painted quoin pilasters. The entrance includes a six-panel door with a moulded architrave, a fanlight, and a Tuscan portico adorned with an enriched frieze. Some of the windows are replacement sashes, featuring grooved architraves and enriched lintels, with 1 over 1 pane on the ground floor and 2 over 2 above; the upper floor windows are smaller. The roof has a low pitch with coped gables and ridge stacks. A forecourt is enclosed by wrought iron spike railings that return to the house at both corners.
On the right return, there are plain windows in the small rear wing. The left return has windows for both the front and rear rooms on the ground and first floors. There is a large canted two-storey extension, possibly from the Edwardian period. The ground floor of this extension features two bull's-eye windows with decorative architraves, while the upper floor, which may have been designed for a ballroom, has tall paired 1 over 1 pane sashes and further architraved windows on either canted face. The extension is topped with a tall corniced parapet, and a peaked roof behind is barely visible. The rear elevation has not been inspected, and the interior was not inspected during the resurvey.
