Description
Barclays Bank is a bank building constructed in 1851 for the East Cornwall Bank. It features a granite ashlar front, while the rest of the structure is made of rubble with granite dressings. The roof is hipped and covered with Delabole slate, and it has projecting eaves, with rendered stacks on both the left and right sides. The building has a deep plan and stands three storeys high with a three-window range.
The upper floors have original hornless sash windows with glazing bars, set within moulded architraves. The second-floor windows are square and positioned over sills with brackets, while the tall first-floor sashes are topped with triangular pediments and a sill string. The ground floor consists of three round-arched openings, with a larger central opening featuring arches on an impost band and tall keyblocks. The side openings have cavetto-moulded reveals, and there is a doorway on the right with a 20th-century door and a plain fanlight. The other openings have later windows.
On the left-hand return, there is a partly-blocked doorway with large voussoirs and an original sash window above on each floor. The rear of the building retains original hornless sash windows with glazing bars. The interior was altered in the 20th century.
