Description

Bank House is a house dating to the early 17th century, with extensions added in the early 18th century. It is constructed of coursed squared limestone with a stone slate roof. The house follows a cross passage plan and features lateral chimney stacks. It is two storeys high with an attic, and includes a rear wing of single storey and attic, and an attached barn.

The front of the house has a four-centred arched doorway with floral decoration to the spandrels and a hood moulding with raised diamond labels. One label is dated 1618, the other has floral decoration. There are ovolo moulded mullioned windows: a three-light and a three-light window to the ground floor, and two-, three-, and four-light windows on the upper floor. A chimney stack has paired ashlar diagonal shafts. The south gable end has windows of two and three lights, with recessed chamfered moulding and hoods. The north end of the main range is largely blank, with a ridge chimney shaft and a chamfered wall in the northeast corner. The rear of the main range has two-light windows. The rear wing has two and three-light windows, the former located in the attic gable facing south. A 20th-century outshut has been added to the north side. The chimneys have moulded caps, and the gables have cross-roll saddles.

Inside, the house retains two large ground floor fireplaces, one with a bread oven, and a spiral staircase.
