Description
Bank House is an early 19th-century house that features a roughcast exterior and a slate roof, which is hipped on the ridge and slopes down to two south-facing gables. There is a brick chimney stack on the north side topped with a moulded slate cap. The house is two and a half storeys tall and has a two-window range on the west side. The first floor has two cambered-headed 12-pane sash windows, similar to those found on the adjoining Bridge Pharmacy. These windows have raised stucco labels and slate sills. The eaves are flat boarded and supported by stick brackets. On the ground floor, there is a window on the left with 20th-century glazing, and to the right, a three-light 20th-century shop window. The wall to the right is slightly set back, which corresponds to the roof hip above, suggesting that the south front may have been added later. There is one ground floor door on the west side.
The south front features twin gables with semicircular-headed attic windows that have small panes and radiating bar heads. The first floor has three long sash windows with marginal glazing bars, cambered heads, and stucco labels. The ground floor has been altered to include a 20th-century window and a flat-roofed porch at the angle leading to Royal Oak Mews.
