Description

Bank House is a mid-18th century house, which was at some point used as a bank. It was refronted and heightened around 1830, with further alterations in the 20th century. The house is constructed of red brick, with some ashlar detailing. It has a double-ridge slate roof with a brick coped gable on the left, wooden eaves, and truncated, rendered gable stacks. The building is two and a half storeys high, with a basement, and features a five-bay front.

The basement has four cambered openings, the right-hand ones shuttered, and the left-hand ones containing plain sashes. Six steps lead to a central doorway with an ashlar doorcase dating from around 1830. The doorcase has ornate brackets supporting a pediment adorned with acanthus motifs and a 'Bank' inscription on the entablature. The doorway has double-panelled doors. Above the basement are two plain sashes on each side, six plain sashes above those, and four smaller plain sashes above them. All windows have cambered heads and flush wedge lintels. The east return wall is clad in 20th-century weatherboarding. The west return wall shows evidence of an earlier second-floor window.

Bank House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
