Description
Rowan Bank is a late 17th century, two-storey house with a rectangular plan that has been altered to form a Z-plan due to additions, including a former bakehouse at the rear. The exterior is harled, with stone surrounds on most windows.
On the southeast elevation, there is an advanced bay at the far left, with a central mid-level window. To the right of this bay, there is a ground floor window and a first floor window. The entrance door is located to the right of the advanced bay, with a first floor window above it. There are two ground floor windows to the right and two first floor windows centered above them, along with a small window positioned between the two ground floor windows.
The southwest elevation is attached to Hatta Cottage. The northwest elevation is partially visible, featuring a first floor window to the right and a ground floor window to the left, with the advanced bakehouse located at the far left.
On the northeast elevation, there is a ground floor and a first floor window to the right, with protruding stones in the center and left, indicating the remains of a former adjoining building. The bakehouse is set back slightly to the right and has a plain elevation.
The building has replacement windows and a replacement timber door with a tirling pin. It features a steeply pitched roof covered with clay pantiles, crowsteps on the lower half of the gables, and flat skews on the principal elevation to the right and the bakehouse. Gable apex stacks are present, with cornicing on the northeast elevation and the bakehouse.
The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 2001.
