9 Agincourt Street, Monmouth
9 Agincourt Street, Monmouth, Wales is a late 17th century townhouse which became the estate office of the agent of the Dukes of Beaufort in the mid 19th century. It is a Grade II* listed building. In commercial use since its construction, it now houses a firm of architects.
History
Cadw suggests a construction date close to 1700.[2] The building was refaced in the 19th century and has since been unaltered externally.[2] During the mid-19th century, the building was owned by the Dukes of Beaufort and used as the estate office for their substantial Monmouthshire land holdings.[2] It was converted by a firm of architects in the late 20th century and now houses their offices.[3] The architects were responsible for the conversion of the nearby Beaufort Arms Hotel.[4]
Architecture and description
The building is rendered, under a roof of Welsh slate.[2] Of two storeys, with an attic, it has a double-front plan.[2] The architectural historian John Newman noted the "botched" pediment while the Monmouth historian Keith Kissack recorded its Grecian fanlight.[5] The interior has a notable dog-leg staircase dating from the late 17th century and a complete early 19th century strong-room, installed when the building was used as a solicitors' office.[2] The building is listed Grade II*.[2]
