Description
Bank Farmhouse is a 17th-century, three-bay house that has been mostly rebuilt using brick and flint, with brick dressing added in the early 19th century. A 20th-century wing projects to the front right, incorporating re-used timbers and features from Park House in Elmley Castle, near Pershore. To the left, there is a 15th-century hall that was moved from Askett and re-erected around 1970. The original house features an old tile roof and a brick chimney located between the right bays.
The building has two storeys, with the front displaying leaded windows on the ground floor, consisting of three-light windows flanking a two-light window. The rear includes three-light leaded casements, a 20th-century door in the right bay, and a 20th-century porch situated between the left bays. Inside the central bay, there is a chamfered spine beam and a large open fireplace. The right projection is primarily constructed of brick, with some timber framing and herringbone infill in the gable. The upper storey jetties out at the front, featuring an old board and stud door with a 16th-century moulded stone architrave and hoodmould on the left side.
The staircase, which has moulded balusters, is sourced from Pershore. The hall to the left contains two 15th-century bays and a 20th-century matching bay that links with the house. It has a timber frame with curved braces and 20th-century thin brick infill, while the gable features rendered and colourwashed infill. The centre bay showcases two tiers of three-light leaded windows in a 15th-century style, with the upper lights having four-centred heads. A 20th-century door with a four-centred arch is located at the rear left. The interior includes chamfered posts, a fine hammer-beam truss with crossed curved braces, and two tiers of arched wind-braces. Additionally, there is a resited 18th-century stone fireplace with an open pediment supported by carved scrolls.
