The painted timber door to the bank manager’s flat is the original staff entrance. The main entrance doors to the former banking hall were modified as part of the conversion of the advice centre to residential. The inscribed lettering ‘Bank’ remains over the main entrance. The original boundary wall and piers also survive - also of banded brick and stone with moulded stone copings as do the two pairs of gate piers. | The painted timber door to the bank manager’s flat is the original staff entrance.

The rear elevation is also little altered – given its high visibility from Amherst Road it was given a high quality elevation instead of the customary plain elevational design - the brick and stone banding of the principal street elevations employed here too. | |||
