The building is situated at the junction of Cheam Road and Sutton High Street, the location of the crossroads of the historic turnpike roads which passed through the town. It is located in the Sutton Town Centre High Street Crossroads Conservation Area, which was designated on 9 May 2011.
The building is four storeys in height and of ornate design. It forms a prominent landmark when arriving in the town centre from a westerly direction. There is a series of arches at ground level within rusticated stonework. The main entrance is on the corner where the two roads meet, rounded in shape and surrounded by an ornate architrave and segmental pediment, which together serve to create a sense of importance for the bank. The second storey has fluted columns and simple cross windows. The windows, columns and dentil on the third storey are surrounded by decorative carvings. The attic is on the fourth storey and set within a decorative, balustraded parapet under which there is a decorative frieze.Licensing
