House, dating from around 1800, now a bank. Alterations carried out in mid-C20 and early C21.  

MATERIALS: Flemish bond brickwork with gauged dressings and vitreous headers to the rear and sides, brick lateral chimney stacks with a left-hand divided flue, and a hipped Welsh slate roof.     PLAN: double-depth plan.     EXTERIOR: to the centre is a tall, two-window range of three storeys and a basement. It has broad eaves to the hipped roof, and gauged brick flat arches over six-over-six-pane sash windows to the first floor, whilst the upper floor has three-over-six-pane sashes. On the ground floor are sash windows with glazing bars and radial heads set in recessed semi-circular arches with impost bands, linked to a similarly fenestrated three-window range in the single-storey wing to the right. This wing is set beneath a recessed two-window range of six-over-six pane sash windows, with gauged arches above them, and a slate roof. The single- storey bay to the left has steps up to a mid-C20, left-hand doorway, in which is a six-panel door with raised panels, a bracketed canopy and a rectangular overlight. The left-hand return to Lagland Street has gauged brick flat arches over two horned sash windows, with an eight-over-eight-pane sash to the right and ten-over-ten sash to the left. To the rear is a parallel wing with a hipped roof and similar fenestration.     INTERIOR: (not inspected 2021) it has been altered.     SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: there are attached wrought-iron railings to the front.
