Description

Bank House is a bank building from 1835, featuring two stories and three symmetrical bays with a gabled roof. The exterior is made of harled sandstone rubble with painted ashlar margins, and it has architraved windows with projecting sills.

On the east (principal) elevation, the building has a regular arrangement of windows, with a central two-leaf, timber-panelled door set in a block pedimented surround, topped by a letterbox fanlight. The wallheads at the gable ends are supported by consoles.

The west (rear) elevation also shows a regular pattern of windows. The north (side) elevation maintains this regularity but includes a narrow, single-storey gabled pavilion wing. The south (side) elevation features a window on the first floor to the right, with a smaller two-storey, advanced gabled pavilion wing to the left and a single-storey, advanced gabled bay forming the right return of Bank House.

The windows throughout are 12-pane sash and case style. The roof is covered with grey slates and lead flashing, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods and coped gable stacks.

Inside, the ground floor has been remodeled for banking purposes.

Attached to the rear of the bank house is a mid-19th century bank addition. This single-storey, rectangular-plan gabled structure is built with harled walls and yellow sandstone margins, featuring a bull-faced base course and shouldered, coped skews. The east (principal) elevation has two bays, with a segmentally-arched bipartite window on the left and a projecting cornice. Stone steps lead to a segmentally-arched entrance on the right, which has a shield bearing a Saltire device on the entablature and a consoled cornice. The gablehead includes blind oculi. The north (side) elevation has a three-bay regular fenestration, while the south (side) elevation also has three bays with two windows.

The boundary wall is low and coped, featuring plain, square-plan gatepiers at the front. There is a high, coped rubble wall that encloses the garden at the rear, which slopes down towards the river.
