Description
Knocklaw and the adjacent cottage to the east are a house and cottage built in the mid-18th century, with later 19th-century rear wings. The main structure is made of squared tooled stone, while the rear wings are constructed from snecked stone, topped with a Welsh slate roof.
The south elevation of the house features two storeys and three slightly irregular bays. There is a 20th-century glazed door located to the right of centre in an older opening, flanked by six-pane casement windows, with four-pane Yorkshire sashes above. The gable coping is raised and reverse-stepped, and there are stepped and corniced end stacks. The cottage to the right is a single storey with two wide bays, featuring a vertical-panelled door to the right of centre and four-pane Yorkshire sashes. It has tall stepped and corniced ridge stacks, with a similar but lower right end stack. Both the house and cottage have gabled single-storey rear wings.
The interior has not been seen, but it is reported that the house originally had a stone stair, which is now concealed. There are 20th-century flat-roofed extensions flanking the cottage wing, which are not of special interest.
