Former Devon and Cornwall Bank

This former bank, now a residential property, was built between 1886 and 1888 by James Hicks. It is constructed of Carn Marth granite facing, with coursed rubble and granite quoins to the rear, and has slate pitched roofs. The building has a roughly square front section and a rectangular rear wing that is angled slightly behind it.

The architectural style is Renaissance, with three storeys to the front and two storeys to the rear wing. The main south-facing elevation features three narrow bays and an offset entrance portal on the ground floor. The ground floor is set above a rock-faced granite plinth and features pilasters framing two large windows; these pilasters are partly fluted and have egg-and-dart decoration to their capitals. The doorway has a matching doorcase with a cornice on fluted consoles, leading to a former through-passage with a further door on the east side of the building. The first floor is divided into three bays by rock-faced rusticated pilasters, with tall chamfered window openings flanking an oriel. The oriel features a three-light transom window with coloured glass in the upper lights and a balustraded parapet. The second floor has chamfered window openings divided by Ionic pilasters, enriched with palmettes, which support a blank frieze and a corbelled cornice. The ground floor windows are fixed with metal frames, while the first and second floor windows are timber sashes, lacking glazing bars. The first-floor windows retain some remnant coloured glass. The east elevation of the rear wing has rubble stone with granite quoins and dressings, along with timber casement windows. The west elevation adjoins the neighbouring building; the second floor has further windows flanking a rubble-stone stack, and another stack is located on the rear roof slope. Modern rendered extensions have been added to the north.

Inside, the former banking hall is located at the front of the building and retains a plaster ceiling with a dentilled cornice and floral ribs.
