Description
The Old Bank is a three-storey building featuring a window offset to the left. It is constructed of coursed rubble masonry and has a gently pitched quarry slate roof with close eaves and projecting verges. A stone stack and water tabling are also present. There is a blocked window set under the eaves on the second floor, while the first floor has a deep window with a stone lintel and sill. Above the tall recessed doorway, there is a slate drip slab and a stone lintel, with a plain rectangular fanlight and a panelled door. Slate steps lead down to the street.
To the right end, there is a later lean-to outshut, also built of rubble masonry and covered with a slate roof, featuring a drip course. The building is advanced on the left window of the rear elevation compared to the adjoining "No 1 Old Bank," with the right corner canted back. The roof has an unusual diagonal hip with a mortared ridge. The second floor has a shallow eight-pane sash window set under the eaves, while the first floor has a deep eight-pane casement window, both with stone lintels and sills. A doorway is located below these windows.
A rubble wall, two meters tall with ridged rubble and stone capping, connects to the former Police Station. This wall is pierced by doorways alongside "No 2 Old Bank" and midway, featuring plank doors.
