The subjects comprise two adjoining buildings which, together, form a four storey and basement corner-terrace property. Both buildings are of solid stone/brick construction, with a pointed and partially rendered external finish together with ornate stone features. The external frontage of the former bank is clad with marble at ground level. The internal accommodation is vast and comprises a mix of cellular and open-plan space throughout. The property has retained both traditional and ornate features internally and externally. There are three entrance doors at ground level, lending itself to the potential for sub-division if redeveloped
