Bankhead House

Bankhead House is a mid-19th century former farmhouse that features two storeys and a single storey, arranged in a three-bay layout with crowstepped gables. The building is constructed from coursed and random rubble, with some sections rendered on the west side, and includes droved ashlar quoins and raised quoin strips. The eaves course is decorated with hoodmoulds, chamfered arrises, and stone mullions.

On the south elevation, there are three steps leading up to a deep-set timber door that has a two-pane fanlight above it, framed by moulded brackets and a canopy. To the left of this door is a hoodmoulded bipartite window, with additional windows above in each bay. An advanced gable is positioned to the right of centre, featuring a canted window at ground level, a hoodmoulded window on the first floor, and a blinded arrow slit in the gable head.

The east elevation includes a window in the bay to the right of centre at ground level and in the outer bays on the first floor, with a gablet at the centre that has a tall chimney stack. There is also a single storey bay with a window on the outer right.

The north elevation displays an advanced L-plan single storey wing with asymmetrical window placement and a door located in the re-entrant angle. The west elevation has two small windows in the left bay at ground level and another window on the first floor, along with a single storey bay to the outer left that contains two windows.

The building features modern glazing throughout and is topped with grey slates. The chimney stacks are made of coped ashlar, with the eastern stack having polygonal cans, and the building has ashlar coped skews and moulded skewputts.

Inside, there is a winding staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters and a timber handrail.

An outbuilding associated with the property is crowstepped and has a pantiled roof, with a rectangular plan made of rubble. The south elevation includes a door to the left of centre, a bipartite window beyond it, and a segmental-headed cart arch with a two-leaf boarded timber door to the outer left. There are also three narrow windows to the right of centre and a bipartite window on the west side.

The property is further defined by pyramidal-coped square ashlar gatepiers and coped rubble boundary walls, some of which feature semicircular coping.
