Bank House

Bank House is a house with origins from the 16th century or earlier, featuring an 18th-century facade. The building is timber framed and has an 18th-century red brick facing, topped with a red plain tiled roof. It has a central rebuilt red brick chimney stack with two diagonal attached shafts and an additional red brick chimney to the left. The eaves cornice is moulded, and the house has two storeys and a cellar, with wings at the rear.

The front has a six-window range of 18th-century small paned vertically sliding sashes set in moulded surrounds, complete with gauged arches and keystones. To the right on the ground floor, there is a four-window range of similar design, and to the left, a small paned flat-headed bay shop window. The entrance features a six-panel door flanked by fluted pilasters with bases and capitals, a moulded upsweep to the frieze, and a dentilled soffit beneath a small flat canopy.

Inside, the house retains much exposed timber framing, including cambered tie beams, a moulded first-floor beam, and halved and bridled scarfs to the top plates. There is an original semi-circular red brick back to the first-floor fireplace, along with 18th-century details such as a stick staircase, doors, architraves, mouldings, and reveal panels. At the rear, there are 17th-century leaded light windows with ironmongery. The cellar dates from the 18th or 19th century, and there is a 19th-century pump in the kitchen.
