Bank Farmhouse

Bank Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1700, with alterations made to a 15th-century wing and a 16th-century section. The building is constructed of red brick, featuring some vitreous headers and a chequer pattern on the north gable. The south gable is covered in tile hanging, and the roof is tiled with brick end stacks that have gable parapets, moulded tile copings, and corbelled kneelers. There are two gabled dormers with 2-light basements and a deep moulded eaves cornice. The house has two storeys and an attic, with a first-floor band of moulded gauged brick.

The west elevation consists of four bays with half bays at each end. The former window openings have been blocked or altered, and there are gauged brick flat arches over the ground floor. Each floor has two 18th-century 4-pane wide sash windows, and there is a central six-panel door (with two upper glazed panels) in a heavy frame, topped by a flat hood with a moulded cornice at the level of the band course.

The northeast wing features a projecting chimney stack on the north elevation and a 2-light casement window on the right-hand side. The east gable has a 3-light leaded window on the ground floor, a blocked door, and a door on the left-hand side, along with a modern 3-light upper casement. The southeast wing has a timber-framed and brick gable on the south elevation, with a one-storey lean-to below and a tall brick chimney on the right at the junction with a two-storey brick outbuilding that has an old tiled roof. The north gable of this outbuilding has timber framing and brick, with a door at the upper level and a door and small window on the ground floor.

Inside, the northeast wing contains one complete bay and two trusses of the 15th-century hall. The principal timbers have hollow moulded chamfers, with the west truss being fully arch-braced and the east truss altered. There is one complete bay of delicate wind bracing that forms gothic arches. The ground floor room features richly moulded 16th-century cross beams on the ceiling. A late 17th-century or early 18th-century staircase in the west range has a closed string and twisted balusters. There is also one first-floor chimneypiece and some old doors from this period. The attached outbuilding at the southeast corner has heavy close-set floor joists.
