Description
The dairy, built in the late 19th century, stands to the south-east of the main farm building complex at Bank House Farm. It is a close-jointed, tooled stone building with tooled-and-margined ashlar dressings, a cast iron verandah, and a Welsh slate roof with a lead-capped timber louvre. The rectangular plan consists of two rooms, surrounded by a six-by-four bay verandah. Features include a plinth and raised quoins. The front has two flush-panelled doors positioned near the centre, flanked by four-pane sash windows, all set within raised alternating-block surrounds. The verandah is supported by octagonal columns with moulded bases and rings, accompanied by curved braces and rings in the spandrels, and carries a hipped roof. A louvre with slatted sides and a pyramid cap is located on the left side. A lateral stack rises through the roof slope, stepped and corniced with paired shafts, and is located at the right end. A similar window is present on the left return, and two windows on the rear elevation.
Inside, the east room serves as the dairy and features an elaborate Minton-tiled floor, a central table with a marble top, and marble shelves. The west room contains a fireplace with an old grate. The building was vandalised at the time of the survey, and most of the slates had been removed from the roof.
