Description

No 9 High Street is a bank building from the mid to late 19th century, constructed of ashlar stone with a roof hidden behind a parapet. It stands three stories tall and features five bays, with the first and fifth bays being narrow and set back from the others, all designed in a classical commercial style. The ground floor has rusticated stonework above a plain stone plinth, with some pecked stone detailing. The central doorway, which has modern infilling, and the two pairs of windows on either side have semi-circular arched heads set in rusticated surrounds, with the windows being plain sashes. The doorway is flanked by rusticated pilasters, has bracket capitals, and is topped with a segmental pediment. The left-hand side bay contains a blind arched panel, while the right side has a door with a semi-circular arched fanlight.

On the first floor, there is a central triple window, with the two outer plain sashes featuring arched heads. The middle window has a lugged and heeled architrave, and the assembly is topped with a hood mould on console brackets and a central pediment. Bays two and four have four-pane sashes in lugged and heeled architraves with flat hoods above, while bays one and five feature tall narrow semi-circular arched sashes. The second floor has matching flanking windows in bays two and four without hoods, and a simpler triple window in the center. A string course runs along both sill levels, and there are rusticated quoins at the projections. The building is capped with a heavy bracketed cornice and a shallow parapet. The interior has not been seen.
