Forest House (Barclays Bank)

Forest House, now a bank, is a three-bay town house in an informal terrace, dating from the early 20th century. It has three storeys and features a slate gabled roof with stucco-clad chimney stacks on both the left and right sides. The boxed eaves add to its architectural detail. The upper floors are covered in painted roughcast cladding, accented by long and short quoins at the left and right corners.

The upper floors have twelve-pane horned sash windows, with the windows on the second floor being slightly smaller. The ground floor, which was stuccoed in 1921, has channelled piers on either side, fluted pilasters flanking the door, a deep frieze and cornice, and a moulded plinth with a thin band above, just below the sill level. Large later 20th-century windows with triple top-lights replace the original sashes of similar width to the upper windows and flank an arched doorway. This doorway has steps leading up to a pair of two-panelled doors with a plain fanlight above.

The left-hand return of the building is also stuccoed and windowless, while the roughcast rear features earlier 20th-century window detailing. The ground floor of the bank has been entirely altered.
