Description
High Knitsley Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-18th century, with a later 18th-century right bay. It is constructed from roughly-coursed squared sandstone, with the right bay featuring irregular courses of thin sandstone. The building has ashlar dressings and quoins, and a stone-flagged roof with brick and stone chimneys.
The farmhouse has two low storeys and six irregular bays. The three-bay section on the right has a 20th-century door set in a tooled plain stone surround in the second bay, with a 4-pane sash window above it featuring a flat stone lintel and a projecting stone sill. The first wide bay has similar treatment with wide sashes that include vertical glazing bars, while the late 19th-century sashes in the right bay also have flat stone lintels and flush sills.
On the left, there is a three-bay farm building with a central boarded door framed by long-and-short blocks and a flat stone lintel. The outer bays have similar blocked doors with inserted windows that have opening top lights. Above the door, there is a wide three-light window with a thin wood lintel. The left side of the house features a corniced brick chimney, while the right side has a square stone stack. The right return gable displays large throughstones at the front and a rough stone surround to a small square window on the right side of the gable, with slightly raised eaves. There is a full-height, full-width rear addition under a parallel roof. A 20th-century brick addition on the left is not of interest.
