Cill band at first floor, tripartite sashes as below but without lunettes. Second floor has 3 over 3 pane sashes flanked by 1 over 1, the centre one has a dummy sash. Cornice and parapet, hipped roof with brick stacks on either side.

Upper floor has a paired 3 over 3 pane sash to left and two small metal casements to right. Cornice, parapet, end stacks as before.
Plain late Georgian interior with the main feature being the hall and staircase. The hall has matched elliptical arches on either side, the left one leading to a top lit stair with stick balusters, continuous mahogany handrail and dado rail. Other late Georgian joinery and plasterwork, Adam type fire surround, 6-panel doors with lion's head paterae architraves etc. Rear Drawing Room on first floor with early Victorian features, probably a relic of the doctor having his consulting rooms downstairs and moving the family rooms to the first floor.
Included as a fine late Georgian house which has retained its character and as one of the best C18 buildings in the Monmouth town centre.
