Description
227 Bank Street in Irvine is a single-storey and attic bungalow built around 1900. It has a large square plan with five bays, a painted stone exterior, a battered base course, and a deep sweeping roof with overhanging eaves.
The front elevation is asymmetrical, featuring a central gabled entrance porch. On either side of the door are narrow rectangular lights, and above is a 2-light rectangular fanlight with patterned glazing, all set in a corbelled gablehead adorned with timber barge boards, a terracotta ridge, and a finial. The bays on either side of the entrance are set back under the roof, creating a veranda, with bipartite windows in the flanking entrance bay. To the left, there is a square corner pavilion with a stone mullioned bipartite window, a cill at the base course, and an ornate bracketed and corniced panel above the window. The eaves feature a decorative band and brackets. The northwest face is identical to this side. To the right, the gable faces southeast and has a bipartite window with a cill at the base course, along with bracketed and corniced detailing above. The gable is corbelled with decorated timber bargeboards, a terracotta ridge, and a finial, and there are 3-light rectangular windows on the returns.
The veranda has been enclosed with modern plate glazing, and the windows are of various ages. The roof is covered with grey slate, has a deep shallow pitch, and features a short terracotta ridge. The end pavilion has a pagoda roof that is truncated to a small square platform with fine wrought iron brattishing. An ashlar stack breaks the pitch to the right of the dormer at the front.
The interior was not seen in 1997. The property is also defined by boundary walls and three tapered gatepiers, which are round with conical caps.
