Description
High Bank House is a house, now divided into two homes, dating from the late 17th century or 18th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with slobbered mortar and features a stone slate roof, with thinner slate on the rear. The building has two storeys and five bays. The windows are sashed, with the ground floor windows having glazing bars and the first-floor windows featuring single glazing bars and horns. The central bay includes a pivoted casement with glazing bars.
The central entrance showcases ovolo-moulded jambs and sunk ogee lintels, with a six-fielded-panel door, two of which are glazed, and an open gabled porch with a segmental arch. There are gable-end stacks, one of which is corbelled, and a cross-axial stack. The rear of the house has two gabled bays and a lean-to outshut, with varied fenestration and a chamfered cellar light. The left return has a projection that is likely an oven. Inside, there is a staircase with square newels, turned balusters, and a moulded handrail.
