Description

Bank House is a farmhouse built in the mid-18th century, with a right bay added around 1800. It has undergone later additions and alterations in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of coursed and squared rubble, featuring ashlar quoins and dressings, and has a plain tile roof with coped verges on kneelers. There are gable and ridge stacks, and the house is two storeys high with a two-window range.

On the left side, there is a rusticated ashlar doorcase with a lintel designed as voussoirs, leading to a late 20th-century half-glazed door. To the right, there are two windows on each floor, all with stone surrounds and flush mullions, fitted with late 20th-century glazing bar sashes. A lean-to projection at the rear has a similar window on the ground floor. The right gable features a late 20th-century door and a small square window with a stone surround above it. There is also a small lean-to addition on the right.

Inside, the ground floor retains an original spine beam and joists in the center, with exposed pine joists at the east end. A Tudor arched stone fireplace surround adds character, and the roof has double purlin common rafters, with the eastern section featuring pine purlins and late 20th-century ceilings.
