Description
Bank House is a house that has been converted into a shop and office, dating from the early 19th century. The front is solidly rendered to imitate masonry, while the rear wing is roughcast. It has a slated roof and rendered chimneys on each gable end. The building stands three storeys high and is four windows wide.
On the ground floor, there is a doorway where the second window from the left would be, flanked by pilasters and an entablature with a modillioned cornice. The entrance features three-panelled double-doors and a fanlight with coloured patterned glass. To either side of the doorway are two wide windows, which were originally triple-sashed but are now fixed sashes with glazing bars. There is a large cart entrance to the right, which has been converted into a public alleyway.
The upper storey windows are 8-paned sashes set in recessed box-frames, and there is a prominent eaves-cornice enriched with modillions. The listing description from 1973 mentions that the rear wing had a weatherboarded third storey, but this appears to have been demolished.
