Description
Old Bank House is a house, now used as offices and a shop, dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, with alterations from the 19th century. The building is timber-framed, with plastered, roughcast, and weatherboarded exterior, and roofs covered in both machine-made and handmade red brick tiles. It consists of a main range facing southeast, an 18th-century wing beyond, and a rear wing which was formerly detached. A lean-to extension is also present. The building now forms an almost rectangular plan.
The right-hand section (No. 56) has a wide sash window with a segmental head on the ground floor, alongside a four-panel door with a segmental arch; the jambs and arches of both are rusticated in plaster. Above, there are two late 18th/early 19th century sashes with six panes each. A moulded plaster band runs at first-floor level, continuing around the right return. Rusticated plaster quoining is visible, with further rusticated plaster on the right return below the band. The left-hand section (No. 58) has a 20th-century sash and shop window on the ground floor, and three early 20th-century transomed and mullioned casements above. Rusticated plaster quoining appears on the left return, to first-floor level only. The front elevation is roughcast and painted, and the roof's front pitch is covered in machine-made tiles. The rear right wing of No. 56 has a late 18th/early 19th century sash window with six panes, while other rear windows are from the 19th and 20th centuries. The rear roofs of No. 56 are clad in handmade tiles. The left elevation of No. 58 is partly weatherboarded.
The interior of the main range is mainly plastered, with some exposed framing within the cross-walls. No. 56 contains a stop-chamfered spine beam with run-out stops, and plastered joists. No. 58 has a moulded beam, likely reused. The formerly detached ancillary building possesses close studding, end braces on the first floor of the northwest wall, a chamfered beam with plain joists, and a cambered tie-beam.
