Description
Lower Hand Bank Farmhouse is a former inn, now a house, built in the early 19th century for William Payne, Lord of the Manor of Langsett. The building is constructed of coursed squared stone and features a Welsh slate roof. It stands three storeys high with a symmetrical, three-bay gabled facade, flanked by single-storey lean-to wings on each side.
The central entrance consists of a six-panel door with an overlight and a cornice supported by console brackets. The ground floor has tall sixteen-pane sash windows, while the first floor features twelve-pane sash windows with a sill band. The second floor has shorter, unequally-hung twelve-pane sashes. A blind light is present in the pedimented gable. Each side wing contains a round-arched window, which is blocked on the right side, with a sash window on the left. The first-floor sill band extends across the side wings, and the gable copings are prominent. The central block has broad ashlar lateral stacks, with the left stack having a brick addition.
At the rear, there is a central six-panel door with a round-arched landing window above it. Each side has 24-pane sash windows on the ground and first floors, with smaller unequally-hung twelve-pane sashes on the second floor. A similar sash is located in the apex. The right return features a central door flanked by large casement windows. This building was formerly known as the Rose and Crown public house.
