Description

Bank House is a small stone house, originally dating from the 18th century, and extended to the rear. The house has been rendered and painted, with a lean-to addition to the left side. It is roofed with Welsh slate and features rendered chimney stacks at each end. The front elevation has two windows arranged in a row, with horned sash windows set in reveals. The glazing bars have been removed, and the windows are topped with prominent hoodmoulds. A continuous hoodmould also covers the two windows and the central doorway, which contains a six-panelled door. Altered and inserted windows are present on the sides of the building. The interior was not inspected on 30th October 1997.
