Description

Bank Cottage is a house dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century, which is now partly used as a Chapel of Rest. It features watershot masonry and a stone slate roof, and it stands three storeys tall. The south elevation faces the lane and has two square lights to the left of the doorway, which has monolithic jambs. There is a single square light on each floor. The building has quoins, and the right-hand return wall includes a single light on the ground floor alongside a five-light flat-faced mullioned window with a taller central light on the first and second floors. The left-hand return wall has a doorway with tie-stone jambs leading to the first floor and a gable stack.
