Bank Top Cottage

Bank Top Cottage is a house built in 1690, with an extension likely added in the late 18th century. It is constructed of red coursed rubble gritstone and features a Kerridge stone-slate roof along with stone chimneys. The original 1690 section, located on the left, has two storeys and two windows, with a central lobby-entrance doorway that is topped by a datestone reading "ET ET 1690." The entrance features a late 19th-century four-panel door. The window openings, which have been altered, are located under 17th-century labels and contain wood casements, likely from the late 19th century, with three lights and two panes per light in the lower storey, and two lights with four panes per light in the upper storey. At the rear, there is a blocked window opening that has three chamfered stone mullions.

The late 18th-century cross gabled wing features a label above a window, which may indicate the location of a staircase that was previously situated behind its gable stack. The right end of this wing has a window and door in the lower storey, along with two windows in the upper storey; the door's position has been moved from the left to the right. Inside, the cottage has a baffle-entrance, an altered inglenook, and four tongue-stopped ovolo beams made of oak. There is a single-flight staircase with renewed treads, featuring two well-crafted turned oak balusters per step and a heavy moulded handrail. The cottage also has oak purlins, some of which are exposed in the bedrooms, along with some oak rafters.
