Bank House

Bank House, located on Bridge Street in Thetford, is a range of shops that now serves as a bank and shop, dating from the early 19th century. The building is constructed of gault brick with slate roofs and features a recessed five-bay block flanked by projecting wings on either side. It stands two storeys tall, with a single-storey extension added in the 20th century that now serves as the entrance.

The ground floor has a rusticated brick plinth and a projecting central bay topped with a pediment. It includes five unhorned sash windows with 6/6 glazing bars. A dentil eaves cornice runs below a low parapet and gabled roof, with internal gable-end stacks.

The left (south) wing features three late 19th-century round-headed sash windows on the ground floor, separated by engaged columns, and a tripartite sash window above, set under a segmental arch. The right (north) wing has a mid-19th-century plate-glass shop front with a row of upper lights, an egg-and-dart cornice beneath a pediment with dentils, and one sash window to the left that has been modified to remove its upper glazing bars. There are two intact first-floor sashes in this wing.

Both wings have hipped roofs that have been reduced in size and rebuilt in the 20th century, with scattered stacks. The rear of the building features a two-panelled door at first-floor level, topped by a seven-vaned fanlight and flanked by engaged Tuscan columns, with an open segmental pediment that is not in its original position.
