Bank House

Bank House is a house that was formerly divided into two, dating from the later 16th century, with a possible older core. It is timber-framed and roughcast-rendered, with a roof covered in single roman tiles. The building has one and a half storeys and a three-cell form, with parts not all dating from the same time. There is an internal chimney stack with a plain rebuilt red brick shaft, and another later stack on the left gable end. The gables feature plain bargeboards and spike finials. There is a lower brick extension beyond the right gable end.

The house has two gabled half-dormers, one upper window, and four ground floor windows, all of which are late 20th-century sash-type replacements. The entrance door has four flush panels and is set within an open timber porch that is gabled, with plain bargeboards and a spike finial.

Inside, to the right of the internal stack, the end wall has very closely spaced studding. The main beam in the ground floor room has a large chamfer, and there are reversed braces to the upper floor, along with blocked original windows and indications of a crown-post roof. To the left of the stack, there are signs of possible roof-raising to the older core of the house, with main cross-beams in the ground floor room also featuring a large chamfer and curved stops. A straight stair has been cut through at one end, and there is a partition wall of altered Jacobean square panelling, which was probably originally inserted to form a cross-passage. To the left of the entrance door, a later parlour has replaced the former service area. The roof has not been examined.
