Description
Bank Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1714, with later additions and alterations. It features a pebbledash exterior over brick, with painted stone angle quoins and a hipped concrete tile roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with continuous floor bands. There are windows to the left and right of the central entrance, which are late 19th-century casements with 18th-century grooved painted wedge lintels and projecting keystones. The roof includes two late 19th-century hip-roofed dormers. A late 19th-century gabled porch with contemporary glazed double doors is present. A prominent pebbledashed ridge stack is located to the left. The farmhouse displays a datestone "AD/1714" in 19th-century lettering at the center of the first floor, along with an 18th-century datestone inscribed "M/CM/1714" on the right return. There is a lower two-storey range at right angles to the rear on the left, featuring a large integral brick end stack and a dentilled eaves cornice, likely contemporary with the main range. A mid-19th-century addition is attached to the rear range, and both ranges were extended in the late 20th century.
