Description

Knowle Top Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse that has been converted into a house, incorporating some earlier work. It is built from hammer-dressed watershot stone and features a graduated stone slate roof. The structure is a three-bay, three-storey building with a lean-to against the right gable and quoins at the corners.

The second bay includes earlier construction, while the third bay was added later, followed by the first bay, which was added last. The second bay has a dressed door surround and a window, with a door inserted within a former six-light mullion window in the third bay, which also has a six-light window on the first floor and two blocked three-light windows on the second floor. The first bay features five-light windows on each floor. All windows have recessed flat-faced stone mullions.

The farmhouse has two ridge chimney stacks, along with blocked doors to the left and rear. There are two and three-light gable windows, as well as a three-light flat-faced stone mullion window at the rear, which is carved from a single piece of stone.
