Bank House Farmhouse

Bank House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from 1694, associated with Charles Holte, as indicated by an internal date stone. It is constructed of dressed stone with a stone slate roof and brick chimney stacks. The building has a three-unit plan, with the entrance located to the left of the house part and an additional entrance on the right side. The facade features three bays, with a central six-light mullion and transom window that includes a king mullion. The other windows have either four or five-light double chamfered mullions and drip moulds, with spiral stops on the first floor. The door openings are framed by square cut monolithic jambs and lintels. The farmhouse has quoins and a plinth, with coped gables that include kneelers, and a dove cote is situated on the right-hand gable. The porch on the right gable is currently used as a coal house. At the rear, there is one three-light mullioned window similar to the front, a cross window at half level that lights the stair, and one semi-circular headed single light. Inside, there is a closed-string twisted-baluster stair. Notably, John Wesley is said to have preached here on April 3, 1754.
