Temple Bank

Temple Bank is a villa, dating from circa 1840, which has been converted into three dwellings. Number 3 is now a nursing home, and Number 7 was derelict at the time of survey. The building is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and has a slate roof. It follows a double-depth plan and has two storeys with basements. The arrangement of windows is 2:3:2, with a gabled central section.

The villa features a plinth, a string course above the first floor, and wooden, modillioned eaves. A rectangular stone porch is centrally positioned, with pilasters, a round-headed arch, a cornice, and a balustraded parapet. A canted bay window with pilasters is on the left end, and a two-storey canted bay (damaged) is on the right. Most windows have raised sills and flat-arched heads; those in the centre retain 4-pane sashes, although much of the glazing has been altered or damaged. The roof is hipped with ridge chimneys. A doorway is located in the left return side, and a narrow, set-back wing extends from the right-hand end. The interior was not inspected.
