Description

Banks House is an 18th-century building. It is two storeys high, with a ground floor of brick and a first floor clad in tiles. The roof is tiled, and there is a restored chimney stack on the outside. The ground-floor windows are casements with cambered heads. A simple wooden doorcase features a weatherhood above the door.
