Hebblethwaite House, part of Bridlington's everyday life as a Bank and Council Offices

Hebblethwaite House was built c.1680 as a merchant's house. An eight-bay building of brick with Artisan Mannerist details. Mullioned and Transomed windows and a coved cornice enriched with Acanthus leaves. Moulded brick dressings including quoins and a band breaking forward above the ground floor windows. The former doorway has a triangular brick pediment with a window above with shouldered architrave and flanking consoles. The building was a Bank for over 100 Yr.’s until 2008, it was then empty until 2020.

You will be able to see the Bank Manager's entrance hallway, which leads to the main stairs. This leads into the Banking Hall, which is a two-storey room with a highly decorated plaster ceiling and oak panelling with a strongroom. Leading off from this room is the Manager's office, which is panelled in painted softwood. You will also see the room used as the Registry Office and the service stairs. Outside to the rear is a range of outbuildings, including the service aspects of the house and a stable block with all of its St. Pancras Ironworks fittings. Currently being restored as a family home. Pre-booked tours only.
