Description
The former Lloyds Bank, now a Country House salon and shop, is a commercial building constructed between 1892 and 1896, likely by E Boardman and Son of Norwich, with an extension added in 1901 by G Skipper. The building is made of red brick, featuring upper floors that are tile hung, and has a 20th-century tiled roof with a brick ridge stack. It is designed in a Domestic Revival style and consists of three storeys.
The layout includes a former banking hall at the center, with a shop entrance to the right and an entrance to the upper floors, which now serves as a hair salon, to the left. The first floor has a three-window range, featuring a single-light window with a transom on either side of a canted oriel that has mullions and a transom. Above this, there is a pierced decorative parapet at the center of an ornamental plaster base supporting a large gable. The gable features false framing, two three-light casements, and decorative bargeboards. The ground floor has a central paired window with mullions and transoms, flanked by doors with overlights.
Inside, the former banking hall boasts a dentilled cornice and a pair of Ionic pilasters. A straight flight stair leads from the ground floor to the first floor, and there is a fine open well stair to the second floor, featuring an imaginative arrangement of flights, turned balusters, and newel posts. The larger front room contains an original fireplace, while the rear room has a window with art nouveau stained glass.
This well-designed building is notable for its architectural quality and holds significant group value as it is located diagonally opposite the parish church.
