Description
Bankside House and its outbuildings date back to 1743, with a porch added around 1900 that incorporates a pediment tympanum from the original structure. The main house is two storeys tall and originally had three bays, featuring an L-shaped east wing with a fourth linking bay also from around 1900, with the roof continuing over. The building is constructed from rubble and whitewashed, with red ashlar margins. The south front is rendered to resemble ashlar and includes plate glass sash windows.
The original house has an almost square plan with two-bay flanks. It features a central south-facing panelled door with a fanlight set in a lugged architrave and a square-pillared porch. There is an eaves and lintel band, a cornice, and a piended roof with two square corniced and closely spaced axial stacks. The low rear wing also has a piended roof. The addition primarily features mullioned windows and has a weathervane finial on the south side.
The outbuildings, also dated 1743, consist of three single-storey ranges surrounding a courtyard. These are made of whitewashed rubble with red ashlar dressings. The northern and western ranges, which include stables and a cottage, are attached to the main house, with the former dated on the lintel and south gable-head. There is a detached eastern range from the earlier 19th century that includes a three-bay cottage.
