Description

The NatWest Bank is a Gothic style building constructed from snecked stone, featuring Bath stone freestone dressings and banding, topped with a steep slate roof that is hipped to the left. It stands two and a half storeys tall with an asymmetrical front that includes three irregular bays: a narrow central bay and a larger, projecting gabled bay on the right. The lower storey of the gabled bay is faced with ashlar and slightly advanced, forming a porch that extends from the central bay. The entrance doorway and three windows in the right-hand bay create an arcade effect, with each arch adorned with disc ornamentation on alternating voussoirs, and the moulded capitals continuing as an impost band. The glazing and door details have been renewed in their original openings. There is a set-back buttress and a pointed window on the left-hand return of the porch.

On the first floor, the advanced gable features a triple arcaded window with red sandstone colonnettes and pointed two-pane sash windows. The attic has paired sash windows with a colonnette that has a foliage capital, and a high arched freestone tympanum with a roundel decorated with relief foliage and the year '1867' in raised numerals. To the left of the entrance is a two-storey canted bay window, which has a three-light mullioned and transomed window in the lower storey under a broad shouldered head, and two pointed two-pane horned sashes in the upper storey. The narrower central bay also contains a similar pointed sash window, with disc ornamentation in the spandrels. A gabled dormer is present within the roof, featuring moulded pilasters and arched barge boards.

An inserted door is located in the left end wall. The rear of the building has three gabled projections made of whitened roughcast, with the central projection being higher but all lower than the front range, which is hipped to the left end bay. The rear features segmental four-pane sash windows and a one-storey central projection. The forecourt is enclosed by a coped dwarf wall.

The building has been modernised, including the addition of a false ceiling.
