Description
Bank House is a house and banking hall that has been converted into three commercial units. It was built in the early 19th century and extended in the mid-19th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. The building is constructed from dressed millstone grit with ashlar dressings and features Welsh slate roofs with various stone stacks. It has a heavy moulded cornice, dentilled on the right, and a plain frieze. The corners are rusticated, and there is an ashlar plinth.
The building is designed in an Italianate style for the extension. The street front has a range of six windows arranged in a 5:1 pattern, with the original house on the left and the projecting banking hall extension on the right. The original house has a symmetrical front with a central round-headed doorway that has a moulded ashlar surround and a flat bracketed hood, featuring a 20th-century door and overlight. On either side, there are large 20th-century shop windows, and above, five plain horned sash windows.
The banking hall extension has a hipped roof and three glazed round-headed doorways with moulded ashlar surrounds and keystones. Above these doorways is a single tripartite window with plain horned sashes, divided by pilasters that have bases and capitals on a bracketed stone ledge. At mid-floor level, there are two blank shields. Attached to the right is a single-storey enclosed porch with a flat roof and an arcaded parapet, featuring 20th-century double doors and a stone surround with square columns and capitals on square bases, supporting a plain frieze and moulded cornice.
The right return of the building has a three-window range with two pairs of round-headed windows in moulded ashlar surrounds with keystones, above which are three plain horned sashes and a single small window to the right. The interior has not been inspected.
