Description
Bank Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, that was remodeled around 1800 from an earlier building and has seen later alterations. It is constructed of red brick with a plain tile roof and features a three-bay baffle-entry plan. The building has two storeys and a gable-lit attic, with a dentilled eaves cornice. There are segmental-headed mid-19th century casements, one on each floor on either side of a late 19th century gabled brick porch, which has a round-headed outer arch and a six-panel inner door. A prominent central ridge stack is present, and there is a lower gabled brick range at the rear with an external end stack and a brick outshut to the right.
Inside, the left ground-floor room has a chamfered spine beam with ogee stops and heavy joists, along with a large brick inglenook fireplace that features a chamfered wooden lintel. A short oak winder staircase in the rear range has carved splat balusters leading to the first floor, and there is an oak staircase to the attic accessed through a plank and muntin door with pointed strap hinges. The farmhouse is included for its group value.
