Description
Clerks Bank Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1727 and 1732, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and 20th century. It is built from coursed squared and chisel-dressed stone and has a tiled roof with end stacks. The building is two stories high and features a three-window front. The right-hand ground-floor window is inscribed "WS/1727" and has C20 casements on the sides. The unusual two-storey gable, which was formerly a porch, has verge parapets supported by widely-corbelled kneelers. Above the former door, now a casement, is a three-light chamfered mullioned window on the first floor, with similar single-light windows on the returns. The gable is incised with a panel. To the left-hand end, there is a C20 entrance with a glazed door, and a lower addition on the right side is marked 1732.
