Description

Bankhead Farmhouse is a late 18th-century, two-storey farmhouse that was extended to form an L-plan around 1840. The building is harled with painted margins and features coped skews.

The east elevation, which is the principal facade, has three bays. The centre and left bays are recessed and date from around 1840. There is a doorway in a gabled ashlar porch at the centre, located in the re-entrant angle, with a window in the south-facing reveal. To the left, there is a large window with a dormer-headed window above it. The advanced gable of the original house is to the right, featuring a small window and a single window above on the first floor.

The north elevation consists of four bays with regular fenestration on both the ground and first floors, plus a small additional window between the middle bays at ground level.

There is a single-storey wing that connects the farmhouse to an outbuilding.

The south elevation has a single window centred at the ground floor and another window above it on the first floor, with a door to the right. There is also a single window on the west-facing wall to the left at the first floor, and another single window to the outer left of the projecting bay to the right, along with a single window centred at the first floor.

The adjoining outbuilding is a single-storey structure built of rubble, with altered entrances, coped skews, and long and short quoins.

The gatepiers are square with shallow pyramidal caps, and there is a low rubble boundary wall with semicircular coping.

The farmhouse features predominantly 12-pane timber sash and case windows, a graded grey slate roof, and coped gablehead stacks, with sandstone ashlar on the south side and harled finishes on the east and west sides.
