Description

This is a mid-19th century bank building with a later extension to the south. The original building has colourwashed brick walls with rendered details, and a roof hidden behind a parapet. It is two storeys high. The centre of the facade originally contained the doorway, but this has been altered to become a window, framed by a classical surround with a slightly projecting entablature supported by pilasters. The ground floor has two three-light double-hung sash windows, each with a raised rendered surround and a simple cornice on console brackets. The first floor has three similar double-hung sash windows. At attic level, there is a projecting rendered cornice at the base of the parapet. Rendered quoins mark each end of the facade. The later extension to the south is single-storey and is constructed with stone walls and a flat roof concealed behind a parapet. A lower entrance is defined by an entablature on Tuscan columns. The road frontage features a triple Venetian window with double-hung sashes, and a round-headed double-hung sash window with projecting stone quoins and voussoirs. The parapet is partly solid and partly balustraded, built off a projecting cornice.
