Description
Bank House is a fine late 18th century red brick mansion located on the northwest side of Church Street, built in 1756. The building stands three storeys tall and features five sash windows. The central section, which has three windows, projects forward and is topped with a pediment. It is adorned with a stone modillion cornice and capping, which is further embellished with three stone urns. There are stone bands between the first and second storeys, and the three central windows have moulded stone architraves. The window above the door has a moulded architrave and a pediment supported by consoles, with stone baluster panels below each of the three windows.
The entrance boasts a good central doorcase made of moulded stone, featuring engaged Tuscan columns and an ornamental frieze. The door itself is a six-panel design with a traceried semi-circular fanlight above it, and there are steps leading up to the door, flanked by 19th century cast-iron railings. The ground floor windows have modern fenestration, and there is a moulded cornice that is recessed at each side. The listed buildings from No 21 to Bank House on the northwest side of Church Street form a group.
