Description
Low Bank House and the attached barn are a farmhouse and bank barn dating from 1758, as indicated by the datestone inscribed "JMT/1758" on the porch. The west elevation features two storeys and three bays, with the barn located to the south. There is a drip course above the ground floor of both the house and the barn. The windows are sashed with glazing bars, except for the central first-floor window, which has a casement. The entrance is marked by a gabled porch. The house has a gable-end stack and a cross-axial stack, while the barn includes five cow house doors, a winnowing door, and flanking ventilation slots above, topped with a gable-end ball finial. At the rear, there is a later wing with quoins and a gable-end stack. The barn's entrance is flanked by later outshuts that are covered by a catslide roof.
