The Old Bank House

The Old Bank House is a house dating from the 17th century, significantly altered in the early to mid-18th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with a stone-tiled roof and end wall stacks. The building is two-and-a-half storeys high, with a five-window front. Three coped dormer gables, complete with saddlestones and parapets, appear to be later additions. The upper floors have three two-light recessed mullion windows, featuring cyma-moulded surrounds, hoodmoulds, and small-paned windows. The main floors are characterised by a raised plinth, raised ashlar angle strips, and a dripcourse above the first-floor level. The first floor has five large twelve-pane sash windows in raised, moulded surrounds. The ground floor contains five plate glass sash windows with narrower, segmental-headed surrounds, raised details and keystones. A central door is set within a moulded architrave topped with a pediment supported by console brackets. The door itself is six-panelled. The rear of the building features large ashlar wings with sixteen-pane sash windows. Inside, the house retains fielded panelled shutters and window seats, fielded panelled doors, and a 17th-century staircase to the first floor, featuring a scratch-moulded rail and newels with acorn finials.
