Description
Old Bank House is likely a house dating from the mid to late 17th century, although it was remodelled in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of soft red brick in English bond, with a mid-19th century stucco finish imitating stone ashlar. The roof is slate-covered, featuring a mid-19th century ridge stack with four octagonal shafts on a rectangular base. Parapetted gable ends have similar stacks at the ends.
The house has a main range with an outshut to the rear. The two storeys and attic are visible in the principal elevation, which displays three shaped gables from the mid to late 17th century. These are framed by rusticated pilaster strips. The outer gables have moulded reveals to a cross-frame casement in the attic, positioned above a two-storey canted bay window. The central gable contains a casement within a stepped arch topped with a dripmould, above a Roman Doric porch leading to a slightly off-centre entry. The doorway has a rusticated surround and a panelled door.
The interior consists of a central hall and stairbay, flanked by a dining room and parlour. A staircase from the 18th century features an open string, column balusters to the newels, and a moulded rail.
