Description
Bank House is a mid-19th century town house that has been altered. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. The building has a double-depth, double-fronted plan and stands two storeys over cellars. The facade features three symmetrical windows, except for an added bay window. It has a first-floor sill-band, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice.
The central doorway is framed by a doorcase with engaged Ionic columns, an entablature, a cornice, and a blocking course, along with a cavetto surround. The door is panelled and has an overlight with margin panes. To the right, there is a canted bay window made of stone, topped with a cornice and blocking course, and featuring 4-pane sashed glazing. The ground floor includes a 16-pane sash window to the left, while the first floor has sashes with 16, 12, and 16 panes, all with raised sills and wedge lintels. The roof is hipped at the right-hand end and has two chimneys behind the ridge and one at the rear wall.
On the right-hand return wall, there are two cellar windows, a blind window, and a 12-pane sash at ground floor level, along with two windows on the first floor that have altered glazing. Inside, there is an inner porch screen with side windows featuring engraved and coloured glazing. The front room on the right has a moulded plaster cornice with egg-and-dart and foliation designs. The stick-baluster staircase has a wreathed mahogany handrail. The cellar contains a full suite of rooms with two rectangular fireplaces, the remains of a washing boiler, and a cool-store with a stone table.
