HSBC Bank

HSBC Bank is a timber-framed building in a neo-vernacular style, located on a corner site with a canted angle that contains the entrance. It features symmetrical south and west sides, except for a lower, narrower bay at the right end. The building is single-storey with an attic, constructed on a high brick plinth with stone dressings. The roofs are hipped and covered with slate, and there is an external brick stack at the right end topped with a pair of tall barley twist shafts with corbelled caps.

The exterior includes detailed sill features such as rusticated quoins, a plinth, and dressed stone jambs at the entrance, along with a moulded sill band. The timber work above is close-studded, with posts that define the windows, doorway, and angles of the building; each post is topped with a pinnacle adorned with crockets. A continuous wooden fascia above the windows displays the bank's name, flanked by shields at the entrance. The moulded coved eaves cornice features a lower moulding decorated with foliage, birds, and animals.

The entrance, located at the corner, has a moulded 4-centred-arched head with decorated spandrels and a plain wooden tympanum above. Inside the entrance is a small lobby with a pair of panelled doors set at right angles, which are half-glazed with quarry glazing. The windows are 2-light wooden casements with quarry glazing, each light topped with a traceried trefoiled head. The west front has a pair of central windows flanked by additional windows, while the south front mirrors this arrangement. The attic is illuminated by large gabled half-dormers at the centres of the west and south sides, featuring paired 2-light windows and jettied brackets, with bressumers decorated with cornucopia. The barge boards also showcase similar decoration and finials.

The right-hand bay of the south front is slightly set back, has a lower ridge height, and wide boarded eaves. It contains a 3-light window, while the attic features a hipped half-dormer with a plain 3-light window with quarry glazing. The east gable end is half-timbered to the left of the stack, with brickwork to the right that includes three small windows with sandstone lintels, positioned at different heights for the basement, ground floor, and attic. To the right and set back is the wider gable end of the main range, made of brick, with one window on each storey. The interior has not been inspected.
