Description
Old Bank House is an early 18th-century building, with later alterations. It is constructed of red brick with a pantile roof and extends to two storeys and an attic. The windows are sash windows with flat rubbed arches and key blocks. Originally, the building had shaped gables at the east and west ends, along with moulded brick string courses and corner pilasters with moulded caps. A later parapetted facade was added to the south, featuring a moulded string course at the base of the parapet. The building has a 2-1-2 window arrangement, with the centre bay slightly recessed. The central doorway is surrounded by rusticated brickwork. Gable chimney stacks are present, with one stack positioned off-centre. A leaded first floor casement is visible on the west side. The north elevation incorporates two pedimented dormers with leaded lights, alongside mullion transom casements with leaded lights, and a later bay window with sashes.
The interior features two ground floor rooms and two first floor rooms with 18th-century panelling. The entrance hall, with a two-storey height, has an original front wall supported on columns. The staircase, featuring two turned balusters per tread, likely dates from the time of the refronting. A first floor fireplace is fitted with a bolection-moulded surround.
