Description
15 The Bank is a house that has been converted into a shop and flat. It dates from the late 18th century, with a 19th-century shop front and 20th-century alterations. The building features irregular courses of squared stone with quoins and painted ashlar dressings. The roof is covered with concrete tiles and has stone gable coping along with a brick chimney.
The structure is two storeys high and has a two-window range. On the left side, there is a half-glazed door beneath a wooden lintel. The shop front on the right includes slender, partly-fluted pilasters and a central recessed door, with a two-light window to the left and a full-width fascia supported by carved brackets. The windows, which have plain stone surrounds, are renewed square windows located at the centre left on the ground floor and above that on the first floor. The roof features right gable coping on a moulded kneeler and end chimneys made of thin dark bricks. The interior has not been inspected.
