Bank House

Bank House is a house, likely dating from the early 19th century, with later alterations and extensions. It is constructed of squared sandstone rubble with sandstone dressings. The roof is slate, and the end stacks are of sandstone rubble with brick shafts. The main front of the rectangular building faces west. The west elevation features two early 19th-century windows with segmental heads, having 2-light casements to the first and top floors. The ground floor has three-light contemporary casements. A four-panelled door is situated to the left-hand side, sheltered by a segmental canopy. To the left-hand gable is a mid-to-late 19th-century extension of two storeys, containing late 20th-century glazing bar casements above a blocked semi-circular-headed carriage entry. A two-storey service wing, extending to the rear and eastwards, has three windows, with early 19th-century 2-light casements under cambered brick heads, and a central ledged door to its southern elevation. Inside, a mid-19th-century cast iron kitchen range, made by Sale and Higginson of Ludlow, is a notable feature, alongside flagged stone floors. The upper rooms contain two cast iron fireplaces, one from the early 19th century and the other from the mid-19th century. A stone tablet inscribed "LH" was found, believed to have originated from an eroded area between the second-floor windows of the west elevation, dated 1833.
