Description

Bank Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the late 17th century to the early 18th century. It features a sandstone rubble plinth and is constructed with a timber frame, brick nogging, and weatherboards. The roof is hipped and covered with Welsh slate, and there is a central stack made of sandstone and brick. The building has a rectangular plan oriented from northwest to southeast and consists of one storey and an attic.

On the northeast elevation, there are three early 20th-century gabled dormers with 2-light steel glazing bar casements, positioned towards the center and left. The ground floor includes four windows; three are late 19th-century casements with two lights, while the fourth window, located to the right of the porch, has three lights and likely dates from the early to mid-19th century. A roughly central late 20th-century brick porch with a hipped roof features a 2-light contemporary casement and a glazed contemporary door on the right-hand return. The northwest gable is weatherboarded, and the frame has irregular panels, typically three high from the cill to the wall-plate. The interior is noted for its timber-framed cross-walls and chamfered ceiling beams.
