Description
Banker's House, located to the rear of Number 35, is a house that has been converted into an office. It was built around 1760 and restored around 1990. The exterior features stucco over brick with limestone dressings, a right-hand lateral stack, and a slate roof. The building has a double-depth plan with a central stairwell and is designed in a mid Georgian style. It stands three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and has a symmetrical front that opens to a small courtyard. The façade includes 6/6-pane sash windows, a cornice, and a parapet.
Inside, the house has been extensively restored and features panelled wainscot and reeded dados, enriched plaster cornices, panelled shutters, and six-panel doors. The stair hall is marble-flagged with black stone insets, and there is a lateral open-well stair with a ramped, wreathed mahogany rail, stick balusters, and periodic wrought-iron adorsal panels adorned with gilded rosettes. The stair also includes a dogleg rear attic service stair and an oval window from the first-floor half-landing to a small side room. The stair hall and landings feature semicircular arches on fluted pilasters, while the rear ground-floor room has elliptical arches, an Adam-style plaster fire surround, and blue tiles in the hearth. The first-floor front room boasts a delicate fluted oval batswing ceiling rose surrounded by running leaves, a good marble fire surround with insert strips, a rocaille panel, and a cast-iron hob grate. The rear fire surrounds have architraves and cast-iron hob grates. The vaulted cellars contain brick stores and slate shelves. This building is an unusually complete example of a mid Georgian house that has survived within the city centre.
