The building has beautiful tall ceilings and a superb former banking hall to its reception accessed through the entrance vestibule with its more recent glazed addition. The high ceilings and beautiful windows compliment the architectural style of this magnificent building, reflecting the ‘Arts & Crafts’ period of architecture. 

The main banking hall accommodates tremendous workspace and leads onto two rooms, the former managers banking office overlooking The Grove and a large safe room, which is excellent for storage.  The property has basement storage facilities and upper ground floor mezzanine washroom and kitchen facilities, as well as a side yard and a front courtyard which shows potential for onsite parking facilities. 

The building is very well situated on the corner of the High Street and The Grove and has convenient accessibility into the Town Moor and Newcastle City Centre to the south, as well as the shopping centre in Gosforth to the North, with regular bus routes and car links from the High Street throughout Tyneside. The metro station nearby at South Gosforth, as well as Ilford Road, is very convenient for its accessibility as well.
