Description
Oak Bank comprises a pair of houses built in 1851. They are located on Barlow Moor Road, Barlow Moor, Manchester. The houses were altered at a later date. Constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with yellow brick highlights, they feature a slate roof. Each house has a double-depth plan and a single-fronted design with adjoining halls. The two-storey elevation has 2 plus 2 windows, with slightly raised central and corner pilasters. The walls between the pilasters are finished with polychrome brickwork. A plain frieze and moulded gutter cornice run along the top. A rectangular iron-latticed porch shelters panelled and glazed doors with overlights, positioned in the centre of the facade. Most windows are 12-pane sashes with raised sills and wedge lintels; however, the left-hand house (No. 114) has a later two-storey rectangular bay window with large casements. An iron plaque attached to the right-hand corner of No. 112 reads "OAK BANK / 1851." The left-hand gable is clad in slate, while gable chimneys are present. The rear of the property and interior have not been inspected.
