Description
Bank House is a town house, likely built in the 18th century on a 17th-century site, with a remodelled front from the late 19th century. The front is stuccoed over studwork and is flanked by giant cabled pilasters with carved caps and a carved frieze beneath the eaves. It has a dry Delabole slate roof. The building has a very deep plan. It is two storeys high and has a two-window front. The late 19th century features include canted oriels with moulded cornices, horned sash windows, and a double shop front with a splayed central doorway and sidelights. The shop front has end pilasters with consoles and a fascia with a moulded cornice; a 6-panel door leads to a through-passage doorway on the left. The interior of the shop was altered in the 20th century, and the remainder of the interior was not inspected.
