Description

Bank Top Cottage is an estate cottage dated 1839, designed by Edward Blore for the Earl of Tankerville. The building is constructed of roughly dressed stone with ashlar surrounds for the doors and windows, topped with a Welsh slate roof. It is two storeys high and has an L-shaped plan with two bays. The cottage features mullioned windows beneath hood moulds, with a three-light window on the ground floor front and two-light windows elsewhere. The deep eaves soffit is supported by large, square modillions, and there are coupled stone chimney stacks with cornices and caps. The windows have been replaced in the 20th century. The cottage is included in the register mainly for its group value.
