The rather elaborate CBC Bank building (1889), designed by the Mansfield brothers it has a particularly impressive interior, featuring Italian fireplaces,
porcelain servants' bells, red cedar woodwork, a fine staircase, quality panelling and original bank fittings including a huge cedar counter, ledger desk and cupboard.
Other elements are the old vault, an underground well, a roof tank installed to improve water pressure and, at the rear of the building, the sandstock coach house, stables and loft.
The exterior has a grandiose arched entranceway and arched windows. It is no longer trading as a Bank.
