East Bank House And Attached Buildings

East Bank House and attached outbuildings is a 17th-century farmhouse, likely originally a longhouse, with the byre end partly rebuilt as a separate cottage in the late 18th century. The building features coursed squared roughly-tooled sandstone on a three-course plinth, with the 18th-century work on the right end and rear made of lightly-pecked sandstone. The main house has a corrugated iron roof over remnants of thatch, while the other roofs are pantiled with stone stacks.

The structure is one and a half storeys high and consists of three bays, with a one-bay cottage on the right that has a short blank extension. The left side includes a byre and cartshed, each built as one bay. There is an inserted door to the left of the center, and a boarded cottage door in the right bay, positioned in an through-passage. All windows are in complete square stone frames without mullions, with glazing removed except for later small sashes located under the eaves. The gable ends are upstanding to accommodate the former thatch, and the original chimney above the hearth-passage has been cut down, with added chimneys at the ends. The outbuildings have unfilled openings and a cart arch in the left gable wall, while the cottage has two small damaged casements.

Inside, the original slightly-chamfered doorway from the former passage into the forehouse remains, along with a stone heck partition and fire beam. An 18th-century stone fireplace has been inserted in the open hearth, accompanied by a 19th-century cast-iron range. There is a spice cupboard with a drawer on the right and a salt box on the left, as well as window seats. An 18th-century fireplace is present in the parlour, and a small fireplace is located in the room above. The dairy at the back features a chamfered small window with a missing cill and an inserted stone fireplace with a 19th-century Yorkshire range in the cottage. An early 19th-century rear dairy extension is also noted. The house had been empty for some time and was undergoing renovation at the time of the survey. Below the cartshed floor, the ground cill and the bottom of a post from an earlier timber-framed building were revealed.
