Description
No. 7 The Bank is a house that has been converted into a restaurant and flat. It dates from the mid-18th century and features an early 20th-century shop front. The building is constructed of coursed squared stone with ashlar quoins and dressings, topped with a roof of plain tiles. It has a yellow brick chimney and stone gable coping. The structure is three stories high with a three-window range.
On the right side, there is a partly-glazed yard-passage door beneath a flat stone lintel. To the left, a small square bay window sits on a high rendered stall riser. The wide central shop front includes a glazed door on the right, which is set under a transom light that projects forward to the left over a three-light shop window on an ashlar stall-riser. Above this, there is a corniced entablature. The upper floors have plain stone surrounds for the plain sashes, and the building features projecting quoins. The roof has stone gable coping on the left side with a moulded kneeler and a tall brick chimney at the right end. The interior has not been inspected.
