Description
10 and 10A The Bank is a house that has been converted into two shops and flats. It dates from the mid-18th century, with some alterations made in the mid-19th century. The exterior features painted render with painted ashlar dressings, and the roof is covered with concrete tiles, with two rows of stone slates at the eaves. The building has three storeys and a two-window range.
There are three wide steps leading up to a central eight-panel door, which is framed by a 19th-century surround with chamfered Tuscan pilasters and a pedimented entablature. To the right, there is a six-panel passage door with a semicircular overlight in a plain stone surround. The left shop front has a step up to a recessed central half-glazed door with an overlight, flanked by slender pilasters and plate-glass windows beneath a continuous entablature.
To the right of the centre, there is a two-storey 19th-century canted bay window with plain sashes, stone mullions, and pierced cast-iron cresting. A similar bay window is located on the first floor to the left. The top floor features five plain sashes in chamfered stone surrounds, with the heads linked by a band of top entablature and a cyma-recta eaves gutter cornice moulding. The roof has gable copings on cyma-moulded kneelers, with end and central ridge chimneys. The interior has not been inspected.
