Description
The National Westminster Bank, located at 26 High Street in Keynsham, is an attached house and shop that has been converted into a bank. It dates from the late 18th century and features mid-20th century alterations. The building has a colourwashed render with stone dressings and a pantile roof, which includes rendered stacks at the south gable and ridge.
Architecturally, it is styled in the Late Georgian manner and has a double-depth plan. The exterior is two stories high with a six-window range. The ground floor showcases a Regency style mid-20th century bank frontage, which is highlighted by Doric pilasters that support an entablature. There are six recessed 12-pane sash windows with incised panels below them, as well as two recessed panelled doors that have rectangular fanlights. The main entrance is located in the second bay from the left, with an additional doorway at the end bay on the right. The original configuration of the two properties is indicated by the spacing of the upper-floor windows: two plate-glass sashes that are widely spaced on the left side (the former house) and similar sashes that are closer together on the right side (the former shop).
Inside, there are no surviving features from the original room layout or any notable architectural details.
