Description
Intact group comprising a mid to late 19th-century villa, later extended and adapted as a bank. The two-storey villa is built of red brick with a shallow-pitched gabled Welsh slate roof, with terracotta ridge copings and deep eaves on timber brackets, designed in an Italianate style. The left hand gable projects forwards and has a rendered extension to the ground floor, with a classical-style doorcase with panelled door and tri-partite sash to ground floor; all other windows are double-hung timber 4-pane sash windows. The single-storey bank is built of pressed red brick with sandstone ashlar dressings, with a hipped Welsh slate roof behind a ashlar parapet with dentilled entablature; the entrance with double panelled doors faces Dean Street. The bank has six narrow timber-framed sashes within moulded ashlar surrounds to Bond Street. The bank has an ATM positioned between the windows on the east elevation and there is sympathetic 20th-century signage. A tarmac and concrete-paved forecourt used for car parking fronts the footway, bounded to Dean Street by a quadrant brick wall with stone copings.
Statement of Significance
Age
The villa was probably built in the 1870s (first shown on 1893 OS map) and the bank was added in 1899, inscribed in a stone plaque on the east elevation.Architectural and Artistic Interest
The villa is an attractive example of an early private residence and the bank an example of commercial services provided during the development of the area.Historic Interest
Former detached villa and attached bank on the north-east corner of Dean Street and Bond Street; the villa is partly in office use and partly in use as a bank, with later addition, occupied by the Royal Bank of Scotland. The bank was a branch of the William Deacon’s Banking Company in 1907, but may have been built for the Manchester & Liverpool District Banking Co.Landmark Status
The group makes a very positive contribution to the street scene, being on a prominent corner site.
