Description

Upper Bank House is a house that has been converted into an office. It was built in the late 18th century and is constructed from sandstone ashlar with a slate roof. The building has a rectangular double-depth plan, with a projecting wing on the right-hand side. It is two storeys high and designed in a classical style. A sill band runs around the first floor, and there is a central Ionic porch that protects double doors, although the volutes of the left column are damaged and the doors have been altered. The ground floor features tall 15-pane sash windows, while the first floor has 12-pane sashes. A moulded cornice and low parapet extend around the building, which has a low-pitched hipped roof with two chimneys. The left return wall has two bays that match the front, except for a canted bay window at the rear on the ground floor. At the right-hand end, there is a single-storey pavilion that has a doorway on the re-entrant side and two front windows that match the ground floor windows.

Inside, there is an open-string staircase with scrolled brackets, slim turned balusters, and a ramped handrail, along with some moulded plaster cornices.
