Description

Bank Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1684 on the porch and has been altered over time. It is constructed of handmade brick, with some areas replaced by common brick, and features boulder stone in the rear wall, which has damaged render. The roof is felted. The building has a three-bay baffle-entry plan with a projecting porch. It is two storeys high, with a two-storey gabled porch aligned with a ridge chimney at the junction of the second and third bays. The porch has been altered, with a doorway changed into a window, a first-floor band, a worn datestone with raised lettering "HB 1684," and a small window with altered glazing set high on the first floor. The wall to the left, which appears to have been rebuilt, has segmental-headed windows with two lights on each floor of the first bay and three lights at the ground floor of the second bay. To the right, the third bay features a two-light casement with a band above it and a segmental-headed two-light casement on the first floor. The building has gable chimneys and a ridge chimney. The rear of the farmhouse is now of less interest. The interior has not been inspected but is said to have beams that are now underdrawn.
