Description

The National Westminster Bank is a bank building that was formerly two separate buildings. It features painted stucco with an ashlar neo-classical ground floor. The main part of the building consists of three storeys and an attic, with two bays. It has a parapet and a slate roof that includes red brick end stacks and a central hipped dormer. The upper floors are accented with quoins.

On the top floor, there are two 12-pane sash windows, while the first floor has two shallow bow windows and four 12-4-12 pane sash windows. The ground floor bank frontage, made of white stone possibly from Portland, has five bays with an entablature and cornice. It is supported by four attached columns that have finely-detailed anthemion capitals, along with two matching square pier responds. The bays contain small-paned metal windows with narrow marginal panes, featuring 15-pane windows in the three central bays, and ashlar sills with panels below. The outer bays have 6-pane overlights above fielded-panelled four-panel doors, and there is a plinth with stone steps leading to the doorways.

To the right, there is a narrow one-bay house that has a parapet, cornice, and two string courses, with the lower string course positioned over a band. This building has three floors, with the top two featuring 12-pane sashes with hoodmoulds. The ground floor has a low 20th-century tripartite sash window with a 3-9-3 pane configuration and a hoodmould. In 1977, this building was recorded as being the same size but with four storeys, an oriel window on the first floor, and a shopfront on the ground floor.

At the rear, there is a staircase with stick balusters that consists of four flights, featuring scrolled tread ends and late 19th-century newels with finials.
