Description
The Bank of Scotland, located at 91 High Street in Leslie, is a mid to late 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay villa designed in a Tudor style. It features a square plan and has a flat-roofed extension that was converted into a bank and bank house in the 20th century. The building was originally rendered but has since been stripped and cleaned to reveal its squared and snecked masonry, stone mullions, and chamfered arrises. It also includes hoodmoulds and a chevron corbel table at the eaves, with the sides and rear harled.
The south elevation facing High Street is symmetrical, featuring a corniced stone porch with a pointed arch doorway flanked by polygonal columns. Above the doorway is a narrow window, and there are broader, slightly advanced gabled bays on either side, each with tripartite windows at both the ground and first floors, topped with corbelled polygonal shaft finials.
The east elevation is mostly blank, with a small later projection at the ground level. The north elevation has an original window on the left at ground level and three regular bays at the first floor, with the centre and right bays partially obscured by a later projection.
The building is abutted to the southwest by a rear extension of a neighboring property on High Street. The sash and case windows have a small-pane glazing pattern, although the window to the right at ground level has been altered to plate glass for the bank. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is a shouldered and coped wallhead stack with a full complement of polygonal cans.
The boundary walls include a coped rubble wall with squared piers that encloses the garden on the right side, and a low, saddle-back coped boundary wall along the street, which formerly had railings.
