Cadw's description
Location
On the principal road which runs north-south on the east side of Monmouth town centre.
History
1839 semi-detached reflected pair designed by G V Maddox. When built Kingsley House was the home of G V Maddox, the Monmouth architect, who also probably designed the houses. It has been suggested that the facade may have been added to an older house, but no evidence is visible for this.
Interior
Interior not seen at resurvey.
Reason for designation
Included for its special architectural interest as a fine pair of neo-classical semi-detached houses by the leading Monmouth architect.
