A possibly c1600 house with its external treatment dating from the C19.
Rendered and painted front with a Welsh slate roof. T-shaped plan with a street range and rear wing. Two storeys, two windows. Slightly off-centre gabled porch. Later C19 2 over 2 pane sashes; canted three window bay on left side at ground floor. Rendered and painted gabled rear wing.
The interior is very difficult of interpretation since its use as a school boarding and master's house has meant the disguising of many features; as well as having broken through walls, different floor levels and divided rooms. Some slight chamfered beams. The only significant ancient feature readily seen is the roof structure which shows evidence of fire and of several periods of construction and alteration. Principal rafter roofs, timber-framed partitions with lath-and-plaster.
Included for its special architectural interest as a multi-period building of definite character near Monmouth town centre.
