Cadw's description
Location
On the main road going north out of Monmouth which rises slowly above the town.
History
Early C19 and presumably contemporary with Nos. 6-10 (even) (qv). It is marked on the 1835 map, but not on the 1800 one. It is shown with the original timber 3-light windows and a pantiled roof in a photograph of 1860.
Exterior
The house is entered down a shared passage through the street door beside that of No. 6 and within the curtilege of that house.
Interior
Very slight cross beams are visible internally.
Reason for designation
Included for its special architectural interest as a pair of early C19 houses which, despite alteration, retain definite character, with strong group value in Hereford Road.
