Description

Bank Cottage is an attached house dating from the early 19th century. It features a wet dash exterior, a slate roof, and brick chimneys. The building has an I-plan layout and stands two stories tall. The main section has two four-pane wide sash windows on the first floor, positioned at each end. On the ground floor, there are two similar windows, and the front door, which is a six-panelled design, is located on the right. This door is sheltered by a segmental sheet metal hood supported by timber corbels. In front of the door, there is a timber former with a quatrefoil cutout. To the right, there is a higher bay that includes one sash window similar to those on the first floor, above a wide boarded door divided into three leaves, with the center leaf being narrow, creating a carriageway.
