Description
Bank Place consists of two and a half storey houses located on Gas Street in Newtown. Each house features two windows and is constructed with a box frame and brick nogged square panels set on a rubble and brick plinth. The gently pitched slate roof has raised boarded eaves and plain bargeboards, with a central brick chimney stack.
The uppermost storey, added in the 19th century, includes gabled dormers. The roofs are covered in slate and have ornamental bargeboards and finials. There are sills positioned below the eaves, with small paned cross windows on the right and similar modern windows on the left. The house on the left has two canted oriels on the first floor, which are slate roofed and feature sympathetic modern windows. The ground floor also has modern windows. The house on the right has a canted Victorian oriel flanked by a sash window, along with a narrow sash and a shallow six-pane sash on the ground floor.
The doorways are offset to the right and have bracketed gabled hoods above the doorcases, with a 19th-century door on the right. Inside, there are stop-chamfered axial beams and square panel timber-framed partition walls.
