Knowles Farmhouse

Knowles Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a convent. It is dated 1808 on the first floor, but it likely represents a remodelling of an earlier house, with some additions. The building is constructed of coursed graduated sandstone rubble with quoins extending three-quarters of the way up, and it has a composition tile roof. The main structure is double-depth and double-fronted, featuring extensions at both rear corners.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has two symmetrical windows. It includes a round-headed doorway with a prominent long-and-short stone surround, although some parts have been repaired with render. The windows on both floors are 4-pane, each with thin raised sills and distinctive tilting-casement upper lights. The ground floor windows have wedge lintels, while the upper ones have thin rectangular lintels. A carved datestone is divided into three horizontal panels, displaying a flower at the top, an "H" in the centre, and "1808" at the bottom. There is a gable chimney on the left side, and a single-storey extension is set back at the left end. A staircase cross-window is located in the right-hand gable, and there is an L-plan two-storey extension attached to the rear corner.

The rear of the building features two vertical joints, a central doorway in the main range, another in the left-side addition, and square casement windows. Inside, there is a large quarter-round moulded beam in the front left room and a simpler large beam in the rear left room. Knowles Farmhouse forms a group with farm buildings located approximately 20 meters to the northwest.
