Description

The former Barclays Bank, likely originally three houses, dates from the early 19th century and has early 20th-century alterations. It features whitewashed brick with a pantile roof and brick stacks. The building is three storeys high and has four bays. The left side has sandstone quoins and a sandstone rubble plinth under bays three and four.

Bays one and two display an early 20th-century bank front with sandstone dressings on the ground and first floors. There is a six-fielded-panel door in a moulded doorcase, flanked by paired sashes on the left and a single sash on the right, all set within elliptical-headed architraves with keystones. The first floor has paired sashes on the left and a single sash on the right, surrounded by a continuous sill band and a moulded lintel.

In bays three and four, there are two sashes with projecting stone sills and flat brick arches on both the ground and first floors, with the ground floor windows replacing former doorways. The second floor features a four-pane sash in a flush wood architrave with a projecting sill in each bay. The building has stepped and cogged eaves, gable coping, and a shaped kneeler on the left. There is an end stack to the left and a ridge stack. This building is included for its group value.
