Description
Bank Foot Farmhouse is a house that was formerly an inn, dating from the late 17th century, with an early 19th-century rear wing. It is constructed of squared rubble with roughly-cut quoins and dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof that was originally thatch, featuring old brick stacks. The building has two storeys and a layout of two plus one plus two bays. There are three steps leading up to a flush-panelled door set in a raised moulded surround, with a sundial positioned above it. The windows are 4-pane sashes in older openings with tooled lintels, and the upper windows have slightly-projecting sills. The steeply-pitched roof has raised reverse-stepped coping on the gables and features a pair of banded and corniced stacks at each end. There are also two gabled roof dormers from around 1920, each with 4-pane sashes.
On the returns, there is an attic window in an old stone surround. The rear elevation displays two single-light windows in chamfered surrounds, positioned above an outshut roof. The gabled wing to the left has a renewed 12-pane sash window on its left return.
Inside, there is a closed-string dogleg stair with turned balusters, a fluted square newel topped with an urn finial at the foot, and a moulded ramped handrail. The doors are two-panel designs. The farmhouse also includes cellars, with the western cellar featuring an inserted segmental brick vault and earlier stone corbels that supported a fireplace above.
