Description
Hill House Hammond Insurance Services is a bank, now a building society, built around 1880. It is constructed of brick with freestone dressings and features a dry Delabole slate roof, with a brick stack on the left. The building has a single depth plan and displays Gothic style details. It stands three storeys high with a regular three-window front.
The doorway, located on the right, has a stilted pointed-arched head. There is a tripartite sash window beneath a stilted segmental arch, both supported by a moulded string. The façade includes a sill-level plinth, hollow chamfered jambs, and a traceried tympanum with a cinquefoil rose above the original four-panel door that has latticed glazing. The first floor features squat two-centred arches, while the second floor has flat-headed window openings, all with stopped hollow chamfers and original four-pane hornless sashes. The building is topped with a heavy moulded eaves cornice. The interior was not inspected, but the building is included for its group value.
