Description
Bank House is a house, probably built in the 1820s. It features brown brick in Flemish bond on the front with pale headers and has a grey slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three windows. The entrance includes a replaced part-glazed three-panel door beneath a radial bar fanlight, set in a projecting flat-roofed wooden porch, likely added around 1900. There is a plain stone plinth, and the windows are 16-pane recessed sashes with wedge lintels. The roof is almost pyramidal with lead-roll hips and a very short ridge, and there is one flush brick chimney on each end wall. The former outbuildings that have been converted to dwellings are not included in this listing. The interior has not been inspected.
