Description
1, Rock Bank is an 18th-century building in Blockley High Street, altered subsequently. It was originally two cottages. The building is two and a half storeys high, constructed of coursed and squared rubble. It has an asbestos slate roof with coped verges and simple ashlar end chimneys. Two gabled dormers are located centrally and to the left. The first floor has two windows, with 3-light casements and wooden lintels. The ground floor features a hipped stone-slated pentice linking mid-19th century angled bays and paired doors, with the left-hand door now a window. There is a lower, single-bay extension to the east.
