Description

The National Westminster Bank is a three-storey building with a five-bay front, constructed from snecked rubble with a freestone ground floor and decorative dressings. Notable features include a cornice band on the first floor, dentil eaves, and a saw-tooth and dentil cornice. The windows are deeply recessed sash windows with keystones on the second floor, while the first floor features round-headed windows with anchor-shaped finials and a continuous impost band. There is an overall first-floor balcony with a pierced balustrade, which advances over a porch on the far left. A deep cornice with elongated fluted brackets runs across the entire front, although it is largely obscured by a modern fascia.

The entrance is flanked by panelled pilasters and features a chamfered arched doorway with an ornate ironwork tympanum above double panelled doors. In the centre, there are paired Venetian-style two-light banking hall windows with foliage-carved capitals on the shafts, along with panelled spandrels and an apron; the right side has been altered to accommodate an inserted cash dispenser.

Inside, the banking hall retains an acanthus cornice with tapered pilasters and Corinthian capitals, and there is a broad cove at the right-hand end.
