Description
Bank Top is a cottage built around 1830-1840, likely designed by Paxton and Robertson. It features coursed squared sandstone and ashlar construction, with an overhanging Welsh slate roof that has decorative brackets at the gables. The building includes an ashlar ridge stack and a stack that rises from the pitch of the roof.
The cottage is L-shaped and single storey. The south elevation has two bays, with a projecting gabled bay on the left that contains a wooden cross window framed in ashlar. In the angle between the two wings, there is a latticework timber porch with a 20th-century glazed door. To the right, there is another wooden cross window in a raised ashlar surround. The east gable end has a similar window, and there are two similar windows on the west side.
Bank Top was constructed as part of the picturesque model village created by Paxton for the Sixth Duke of Devonshire.
