Description
Bank House is an early 19th-century house constructed from unpainted, slate-hung rubble stone, featuring a low-pitched roof and rendered brick end stacks. The building is two stories high and has a three-window front with sash windows in plain reveals: there are 12 panes in the upper windows and tripartite windows with a 4-12-4 pane configuration below, flanking a 16-pane window that has replaced the original central door. The tripartite windows have slightly cambered heads, and the eaves are nogged brick. The north wall is slate-hung, and there is a rendered single-storey addition on the north side, which includes a stack and two 20th-century small-paned windows. Additionally, there is a two-storey 20th-century addition on the south end.
