Description

This farm building, located about 100 metres west of Bank Hall Farmhouse, is the southern of two parallel ranges and dates from the 17th century. It has been extended and altered over time. The structure is made of handmade brick with some stone quoins and features a steeply-pitched stone slate roof. It has an unusual rectangular plan that measures approximately 75 metres in length and runs on an east-west axis.

At the east end, there is a short modern addition that is not included in the listing. On the south side, next to this addition, is a doorway with long and short jambstones and a large stone lintel that is undercut to create a segmental head, topped with a brick label. There is a modern window next to this door and another above it. Beyond this, there are seven segmental-headed windows at ground floor level and another in the centre above, likely a stairlight, while the west end has no windows.

The north side features several stable doors, two sliding doors in the centre, and a wagon door at the west end. At the first floor, there are slit breathers on two levels and two square loading doors. The west gable wall has short brick ledges evenly distributed across its surface, the purpose of which is unknown. There is a loading door in the gable and a blocked one directly beneath it. Although the interior was not inspected, straight windbracing to the roof is visible in some areas. This building is historically associated with Bank Hall.
