Description
Lower Brocka Bank is a house built in 1728, associated with the Lister family. It features rubble brought to course, dressed quoins, and a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and a two-room front with a double-depth layout. The central doorway has a lobby entry, composite jambs, and a dated basket-arched lintel with a chamfered surround that rises to form an ogee. On either side of the doorway are double-chamfered mullion windows, originally with four lights, though three have been altered with lowered or raised lintels. The left window retains its king mullion. The gables are coped with kneelers, and there is a central stack. At the rear, there is an altered four-light window and three former two-light windows, all lacking mullions, with one serving as a stair window. The doorway at the rear has monolithic jambs and a slate hood similar to the rear doorway of Low Laithe Barn, Addingham Moorside, which dates to 1733.
Inside, the house features a wide segmental-arched fireplace with a cyma-moulded surround and joggled voussoirs, along with a cyma-moulded raised panel on the jamb. There is a stone dog-leg staircase and a beehive oven to the left of the staircase, which may still be in situ but is currently concealed.
