Bank Hall Farmhouse

Bank Hall Farmhouse, originally dating to 1612 (though the door lintel bearing this date has been replaced), was altered and extended in the 18th century. The house is constructed of hammer-dressed stone, now rendered, with a stone slate roof. It is a two-story, three-room farmhouse originally built around a hearth passage, later developed as a double pile structure. A four-light chamfered mullioned window is located to the left of a 19th-century cottage doorway. Other windows include a two-light mullioned window (fire-window), a five-light window (to the housebody), and a four-light window (to the parlour). The first floor has four-light chamfered mullioned windows on either side of a central six-light window. Quoins are present. The rear of the double pile house, under a two-span roof, incorporates two 17th-century cells and two 18th-century cells. The rear elevation displays a plinth, two double-chamfered mullioned windows (four lights and eight lights, the latter with a king mullion) under a single hoodmould with decorated label stops. An added cell features a long chamfered mullioned window and a wide window with eight lights. The first floor on the rear displays three flat-faced mullioned windows, each of six lights. The right-hand return wall has a doorway with monolithic jambs leading to a rear range, along with a two-light chamfered mullioned window to each gable. Three stacks are located on the front range, one central, with a single stack to the rear range.
