Description

Well Bank House, Sycamore Cottage, and 2 Well Bank Cottages comprise three dwellings, originally a farmhouse. The core of the building dates to the 17th century, with additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of deeply-coursed, squared gritstone with stone slate roofs. The building has an irregular L-shaped plan, with a main two-storey range, extensions, rear outshuts, and a short projection beyond the junction with a one-and-a-half storey front wing to the right.

The main range has two storeys and five windows to the first floor. A plinth and quoins are visible. A door, set within the short projection beyond the front wing, features quoined reveals and a Tudor-arched lintel. The elevation facing the farmyard has two 17th-century bays to the right, where two ground floor four-pane sashes have been inserted into altered double-chamfered surrounds, with sills that have been modified; a shared hoodmould exists above. Two smaller sashes are present to the first floor in similarly altered surrounds. To the left of this section are two 18th-century bays with square-faced mullion windows. A central blocked door, now a window, has a bonded ashlar surround. A three-light window is to the left of the blocked door, and a similar window to the right has a boarded door inserted into the two left lights. A band runs across the façade. The first floor features a two-light window to the left and a similar opening to the right, now a sash with mullion removed. A 19th-century bay to the left has an altered doorway to the right and casements on each floor. Altered ridge stacks and an end stack are visible to the right. The rear of the 17th-century part retains unaltered double-chamfered mullion windows on both floors, with ground floor hood moulds and wooden casements.

The front wing has a left return where the left part breaks forward; to the right is a door with quoined reveals and a Tudor-arched lintel. Various double-chamfered mullion windows are present on each side, some of which have been altered. The interior of the front wing was not inspected, but a cruck-frame and a central inglenook fireplace are visible. It is also said to contain a stone staircase and panelling.
