Description
The garden walls and gate piers attached to the right and rear left of Bank House were built in 1857 by William White. They are made of stone rubble with granite and slate dressings. The wall at the rear left of Bank House features four stepped sections, standing about 2.5 meters high, with a gateway at each end. The middle three sections are battered, topped with rubble coping, and have granite quoins at the batter. The rightmost section includes a two-centred arched doorway with a plank door fitted with strap hinges, convex mouldings, a hood mould, and a banded relieving arch. Above the wall, there is a pitched slate roof adorned with crested ridge tiles and a pinnacle on the left topped with a finial. To the left end, there is a double gateway with a tall pier featuring a pyramidal cap on the right and narrow Gothic coping on the left wall end, along with a wooden gate. The wall continues to enclose a roughly rectangular garden behind Bank House. Attached to the front right of the house is a low wall with hollow-moulded granite coping and slender piers with finials flanking a single gateway that has a later 19th-century wrought iron gate. Wooden palings have replaced the former railings on the wall, with a similar terminal pier on the right. These walls are an integral part of the design of the house.
