Barclays Bank

Barclays Bank, originally listed as Martins Bank, is an early 19th-century house. It features fine ashlar stonework, with watershot detailing on the sides, and a hipped green slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, with sash windows that include some glazing bars. The stone doorcase is adorned with Tuscan three-quarter columns and sections of entablature, topped by an open pediment over a round-headed doorway that has a keystone. The eaves are bracketed, and there are two chimneys. A dressed stone service wing extends to the rear, which includes some sash windows with glazing bars. This wing has similar architectural details to the main house, but at the west end, there is a six-light chamfered stone mullion window, possibly from the early 20th century, featuring armorial glass. Inside the bank, the reveals are finished with raised and fielded panels throughout, and there are six-panel doors typical of the 19th century. The right-hand room, now the banking hall, has a cornice decorated with leaf and guilloche motifs, while the left-hand room features beams with a Greek Key motif.
