sashes with glazing bars. The ground storey has a 3-light window. The south
addition has a large mullioned and transomed splayed bay rising through 2 storeys,

Roof slate, hipped. The interior has a number of C18 features including a doorcase
with shouldered architrave and a moulded panel with the words "Ye Old Bank House"
and carved enrichment, a staircase with cut strings and carved spandrels, turned
balusters and a "Corinthian" newel post and a mantelpiece. The music room, now
a studio, has Art Nouveau features.
