Calciferous sandstone ashlar on rusticated plinth, with pilastered quoins, pilasters, string courses and bracketed cornice under open balustraded parapet. Graduated greenslate roof partly hipped; vestiges of ashlar ridge chimney stacks. 3 storeys, 4 bays to each facade (one facing onto Botchergate) with angled bay on corner. C20 angled panelled door and glazed fanlight in tetrastyle porch with modillioned cornice under balustraded balcony. Right C20 panelled door in stone architrave under round-headed quoined arch; inscribed over door C.U.B.C.. Large round-headed ground-floor casements divided by pilasters and under carved-head keystones. Upper-floor windows are sashes with segmental and round arches divided by paired columns. Over the entrance is a triparitite window with columned shaped pediment. Corner attic shaped pedimental dormer. INTERIOR detail hidden by modern fascias. Carlisle Journal (1865) gives proposals for new bank, which because of a bricklayers' strike was not opened until 1867 (Carlisle Journal, 1867). Plans dated 1865 are in Cumbria County Record Office, CA/E4/711. (Carlisle Journal: 1 August 1865; Carlisle Journal: 24 September 1867).
