Description
Bank House and Bank Cottage is a large house that has been divided into two units. It dates from the late 18th century and has undergone alterations and additions in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of red brick and features a tiled roof, with the front roofs displaying an eaves band and stone-coped verge parapets on corbelled kneelers, along with end stacks. The plan is complex and H-shaped, with the front consisting of a double parallel range connected by a link block to an L-shaped unit that faces Uttoxeter Road.
The front elevation has two storeys and a dormer-lit attic, divided into two parts. The left part is taller and features a semi-circular bay with a conical lean-to roof, along with two ranges of glazing bar sashes that have gauged brick heads. The right part is lower and longer, also with two ranges of glazing bar sash windows, hipped dormers in the attic, gauged brick heads on the first floor, and tripartite windows with elliptical heads on the ground floor. The entrance is located in the left-hand gable end. The wing facing the road includes segmental-headed casements and two projecting 19th-century wings.
