Description

Knowls Lane Farmhouse is a house that was originally built in the early 18th century but has been extensively altered over time. It is constructed from roughly coursed and squared rubble and features a stone flagged roof. The building has two storeys and a three-window range, with a doorway located in an added porch to the left. The windows have been renewed and consist of two and three lights. Notably, two original mullioned windows can still be seen in the return elevation of the rear wing. The farmhouse also has an end wall stack.
