Description
House, dating from the 18th century with origins around 1830 and later 19th-century alterations. Constructed of dressed stone with a hipped slate roof, the house follows a double pile plan and has a gable-end entry. It is two storeys high and originally three bays wide. The entrance porch features Tuscan pilasters and an entablature, framing a recessed entrance with a six-panel door, the upper two panels glazed, and a rectangular glazed fanlight above. The right-hand ground floor and two upper floor windows have projecting sills and 16-pane sashes. The left-hand gable has projecting eaves, and gable-end stacks are present. To the right is a later 19th-century bay that formerly connected Bankwell to the Parish Room. The garden front, on the left-hand return, is two storeys high and four bays wide, with the two central bays recessed, featuring sashes, and an upper floor sill band. The interior includes an 18th-century cellar in the eastern (right-hand) part of the house. An early 19th-century dog-leg staircase has an open string, turned balusters, and a ramped handrail. The eastern range retains 18th-century chamfered King post roof trusses with V struts, while the western range has an 1830s King post roof constructed of machine-sawn timber with V struts.
