Bank House Number 1

Bank House Number 1 is part of a larger house, with a core dating to about 1700 and a refronting in the mid to late 18th century, with alterations in the 19th century. The front facade is built of ashlar sandstone, with the remainder of the building constructed of rubble limestone; the roof is covered in stone slate and concrete tiles.

The two-story, two-window front has a gabled end with a plinth, chamfered quoins, and bands above the ground and first floor windows, the upper band linking to the gable copings to form a simple pediment. Projecting stone sills and raised surrounds frame the 6/6 sash windows. An attic window is a casement with glazing bars in an oeil-de-boeuf (circular window).

The right return has a conservatory porch enclosing part-glazed double doors in an architrave with a cornice on consoles; a 6/6 sash window is above the porch. To the left is a 20th-century bowed casement window below a late 19th-century sash window with coloured glass. The left return has a casement window and an 8/8 sash window on the ground floor, and a 6/6 sash window and an 18th-century casement consisting of two 18-pane lights on the first floor. There are corbelled brick stacks on the right and another brick stack near the eaves.

The front ground-floor room has late 18th-century painted wooden panelling with a recess to the rear. A contemporary fireplace has a crinoidal limestone hearth with an original iron grate set within mottled marble slips; the fire surround has an eared architrave with an egg-and-dart moulding, and a carved frieze with scrolls and floral motifs in relief. A moulded plaster ceiling border depicts exotic fruit. The stair hall features a late 18th- and early 19th-century staircase with square rods to a wreathed handrail, which ramps to turned newels. A grey marble fireplace with an iron grate is on the first floor.

The roof structure has two principal-rafter trusses with diagonal struts, each with a central doorway. One doorway has a door of three elm planks with a wooden latch; the other originally served as a door but now forms part of the flooring in the centre bay. Straight wind braces support large-scantling purlins. The building was originally interlinked with numbers 2 and 3 Bank House, and the whole range was once used as a school.
