163-169, WHITELADIES ROAD (See details for further address information)

Nos. 163-169 Whitladies Road, including No. 1 Burlington Road, is a terrace of six houses built around 1840, now serving as shops and offices. The bank located here, designed by George Silley for the Wilts and Dorset Bank, was constructed in 1899. The building features limestone ashlar, with party wall stacks and a roof that is not visible. It is designed in a Neoclassical style, comprising three storeys and an attic, with a window arrangement of 3:4:3.

The terrace presents a formal appearance, with late 19th and 20th-century ground-floor shops and a bank at the front. The ends of the terrace project forward, showcasing a full elevation on the right-hand return, while the entrance to the end house is located at the rear. The ground floor is banded, with windows framed by architraves, a cornice, and a coped attic storey. The first and second floors feature 6/6-pane sash windows, while the attic has 3/3-pane sash windows. There are blind windows on the right-hand side, situated below a lateral stack with a central balustrade.

The right return displays a three-window range with a central doorway and tripartite outer first-floor windows, one of which has a cast-iron balcony. The rear porch includes a cornice and a six-panel door with margin windows. The central section at the back has 9/9-pane semicircular-arched stair lights. The bank's interior is notable for its panelled ceiling and an oval domed lantern. The bank itself is designed in an elaborate Edwardian Baroque style, featuring a granite plinth and an arcade of five semicircular-arched windows separated by blocked Tuscan columns. The entrances at the left end and right-hand corner have rounded granite frames, and there is a full-width balustraded parapet, with a bowed right-hand end that has three windows.
