Description
Bank Top Cottage is a late 18th-century building that was originally two dwellings. It is constructed of thinly coursed rubble with a rough stone plinth and features quoins. The pitched stone slate roof has two gable stacks and the building stands three storeys tall.
On the east elevation, the ground floor has a central doorway with a deep millstone grit lintel and stone surrounds, flanked by two recessed four-light stone mullioned windows on each of the three floors, although the second floor has two new mullions. The north elevation features a ground floor doorway that is partially blocked, also with a deep lintel and quoins, and each of the first and second floors has one recessed two-light stone mullioned window. The west elevation has three recessed two-light stone mullioned windows and one modern opening.
