Description
Bank Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse with later additions and alterations. It is timber framed with plastered and painted brick infill on a rendered rubblestone plinth, and it has a corrugated iron roof that has replaced the original thatch. The building is designed in an L-shape and consists of one storey and an attic. The framing features square panels, with three panels from the cill to the wall-plate and short straight tension braces. The right-hand gable end has hewn jettying. The fenestration is irregular, with two 20th-century fixed-light windows on the front within the framing panels. The entrance is located to the left and is accessed through a 20th-century gabled brick porch. A prominent red brick ridge stack is situated on the rear wing. An interior inspection was not possible at the time of the re-survey in 1985.
