Description

The Midland Bank, originally a house, dates from the late 18th century and has 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of ashlar sandstone and painted brick, topped with a Welsh slate roof that features a hipped gable on the left and a brick stack on the rear wing. The building has an L-shaped plan and stands two storeys tall with a four-window range, showcasing 6/6 sash windows beneath gauged brick segmental arches and boarded soffits at the eaves.

The ground floor has a 20th-century bank facade with an entrance on the left. This entrance consists of double doors set beneath a moulded frieze supported by fluted pilasters, with an overlight and three plain lights under semicircular arches. These arches are enhanced with corbels that support a modillioned cornice on a colonnade, all made of rusticated ashlar. The left side of the building, which faces Burgess Street, features a returned bank front that partially obscures a 6/6 sash window, with another 6/6 sash located above it. The rear wing includes 6/6 and 8/8 sashes under segmental arches, along with a 20th-century door beneath a semicircular arch. The rear of the building has a tier of margin-glazed lights and a roughcast gable wing with a steep-pitched roof, featuring a 19th-century light under a simple hood and a 20th-century casement.

The interior has not been inspected. The Midland Bank is part of a building group with No. 3, Broad Street.
