36, The Bank

No. 36 The Bank is a house that has been converted into a house and flat. It dates from the mid-18th century, with alterations from the mid-19th century, including a shop front. The building features painted render with painted ashlar dressings and a roof covered in concrete tiles, complete with stone gable copings and chimneys made of rubble and brick.

The structure is three storeys high and has a one-window range. On the ground floor, there is a door from around 1930 to the right, framed by an 18th-century architrave. The shop front includes a glazed door with an overlight, positioned to the right of a projecting two-light plate-glass window, which is topped by an entablature featuring zigzag decoration that extends forward over the window.

The first floor has a canted bay window with segmental heads over plain sashes, supported by wooden colonnettes and an entablature that also displays zigzag decoration and a patterned frieze. The second floor contains two small sashes with glazing bars set within architraves. The roof has slightly swept eaves and gable copings on cyma-moulded kneelers. There are chimneys at both ends, with the left one made of thin bricks and the right featuring an external rubble stack that reduces to brick above the ridge.

Inside, there is a closed string dogleg stair with a balustrade that was renewed around 1900, and an 18th-century grip handrail has been reused.
