Bancroft House

Bancroft House is a town house, now used as an office, dating from the 16th century or early 17th century and has been much restored. It features a timber frame with plaster infill and a tile roof, complemented by a stone and brick stack at the rear. The building has two storeys plus an attic and a three-window range. The entrance is marked by a bracketed pentice adorned with fishscale tiles and a 20th-century door. There is also a similar late 19th-century bay window with small-paned upper lights, flanked by similarly glazed windows on either side. The first floor showcases two-light windows that continue as small gabled dormers above wide transoms at the eaves level. The exterior displays square framing and moulded barge-boards, with exposed square framing visible on the left return. The rear of the house includes a 20th-century single-storey flat-roofed addition and an external stone and brick lateral stack. Inside, the ground floor reveals exposed framing and a stud wall with the infill removed, along with a fireplace featuring a bressumer at the rear.
