Description

Corner House, located at 62 Bank Street, is an early 20th-century commercial building with later additions. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure designed in a classical style, featuring later shopfronts on the ground floor. The exterior is made of smooth dressed ashlar and includes a first-floor string course and a corbelled parapet at the eaves. There is a doorway in the left-hand bay, and the first-floor openings are architraved and flanked by pilasters. The building has a mansard roof with a flat lead top, a central flat-roofed dormer with slate cheeks, and a tall ashlar stack on the far left with circular clay cans. The entrance step has 'CORNER HOUSE' written in mosaic tiles.

The first floor has six over one-pane timber sash and case windows, while the dormer features a three over six-pane timber window. The roof is covered in grey slate with lead ridges and a lead top, and the right gable has ashlar coping.

Inside, the ground floor has been fitted with 21st-century shop cladding and suspended ceilings, which conceal a hatch to the upper floors. The first floor remains in its original condition, featuring a timber panelled room with a box room to the right and a ladder stair leading to the attic.
