Lloyds closed the branch in 2015 and sold the Grade II listed property in 2016 for £785,000.
Planning permission was granted to convert it into a commercial property at the time, and land Registry records showed Ramsay paid £1.96 million for the building.
Located on a narrow street in the middle of Fowey, the property backs onto the Cornish town’s stunning estuary – a picturesque expanse littered with fishing and sailing boats.
Cornwall Council’s planning portal showed that enquiries had been made about having it transformed into a single residential dwelling.

Prior to purchasing the property, Ramsay had been spotted in the tourist hotspot on a number of occasions and rumours of his intentions were rife.
Plans were approved to turn the former bank into a four bedrooms (all en-suite) home with living room, study, kitchen/diner and with two terraces, and work soon commenced.
Ramsay had also previously paid £4.4 million for a home in the village of Rock, dubbed Kensington-on-Sea due to it staggering house prices.
He angered residents in Rock with his plans to replace the 1930s home but was given the go-ahead.
The property was then demolished and while the new house was being built Ramsay splashed out £4 million on a stopgap house in a nearby village.
Gordon and his family spent lockdown at his mansion in Rock, which caused backlash with residents after they travelled down from London amid the coronavirus crisis.
