Description
Bank Cottage is a house built around 1835, with a rear wing added in 1859. It is constructed from rendered and colourwashed brick, topped with a roof made of black-glazed pantiles. The building has two storeys and features a two-window range. On the ground floor, there is a 20th-century half-glazed door to the right, accompanied by a 6-pane plate-glass shop display window to the left. The first floor has two 6/6 unhorned sash windows set within flush frames. The roof is gabled, and there is an internal gable-end stack located at the north side. The interior has not been inspected.
