Description
The Old Bank is a three-storey building with a cellar, constructed from coursed rubble masonry. It features a gently pitched slate roof with close eaves and verges, along with stone stacks and water tabling.
The front elevation includes a stair window set under the eaves at the center. There is a narrow 16-pane sash window that descends to the first floor, which has a stone sill. To the left on the first floor, there is another 16-pane sash window with a stone lintel and slate sill, similar to the ground floor window that also has a stone sill. The doorway is located at the center beneath the stair window and features a six flush panelled door. To the right, there is a cellar window with a timber shutter and a stone lintel, with no other windows present on that side.
The rear of the building has largely modern windows, all with stone sills.
