Description
Low Banks is a house, now divided into three dwellings, dated 1700. It is constructed of coursed stone, with coursed rubble at the rear, and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and five first-floor windows. The entrance front, facing south, has a central doorway framed by a finely-moulded architrave, with an initialled datestone above. The windows were originally cross-windows, but later sashes have been inserted; the central window above the door is also in a moulded architrave. There is a string course, shaped kneelers, and coping. At the rear, there are double-chamfered mullion windows and a projecting chimney stack. On the left side, there is a blocked, moulded stone doorway, a four-light and a five-light mullioned window with some mullions removed, and a blocked bulls-eye window in the gable.
