Description
Bank House and No 13 (Old Bell Hotel) is a late 18th-century town house and hotel located on Long Street in Dursley. The building is constructed of red Flemish bond brick and features brick chimneys and an asbestos cement slate roof. It stands three storeys high with an attic and has a long three-storey rear wing.
The front of the building has a central section that projects forward and is topped with a pedimented parapet. The windows are arranged in a pattern of 2:3:2, although the central windows are slightly off-centre to the left. All windows feature 19th-century plate glass sashes, except for the late 19th-century public house front and the adjacent entrance archway, which is made of painted stone and supported by slender cast-iron columns with rusticated round arches. The ground floor includes two plain sash windows to the left of centre and a six-panel door that is set back and flanked by plain sashes.
On the middle floor, there are round-arched windows with plain fanlights above the sashes, and the outer sashes are within Venetian windows. The upper floor has small plain sashes, all of which have raised brick surrounds. The middle and upper floor windows feature aprons with stone guttae below. Rusticated pilasters are present at each end of the facade. Behind the solid parapet, there are four gabled roof dormers.
The rear of the building has a long wing made of random rubble marlstone, which has been increased in height to three storeys using brick. On the northeast side, there are four timber casements on the ground floor with timber lintels, and three 12-pane sashes on the upper floor. The southwest side features sash windows on the upper floor. The interior has not been inspected.
