Description
8 Bank Street in Wigtown is an earlier 19th-century, two-storey terraced house with a basement and a rear wing. The exterior features modern roughcast walling with painted sandstone margins and smooth rusticated quoins on the left side. To the left, there is a recessed door with a fanlight, although the door itself is modern. All windows are single-light with plate glass sashes, and there are grills on two basement windows at the front. The building has a band course above the ground floor and at the eaves, along with an eaves cornice and a blocking course. The roofs are modern and covered with concrete tiles, featuring corniced end stacks and octagonal cans, as well as rooflights. The two-storey rear wing displays a heraldic motif, possibly a marriage tablet, and is covered with grey slates.
