Knossington Grange

Knossington Grange is a country house, dating to 1864 with subsequent alterations in 1895, and now used as a school. It is constructed of coursed and squared ironstone with limestone ashlar dressings, and has slate roofs. The building features a chamfered plinth, a string course, a coved eaves cornice, rusticated quoins, and shouldered coped gables. There are 3 lateral, 4 gable, and 5 ridge stone stacks with grouped corniced stalks and Tudor-style patterned pots. The building is two storeys plus attics, and nine bays wide.

The principal south-west facing garden front has a recessed centre with a crenellated parapet and is flanked by single, slightly projecting gabled wings. The centre of the south front has, to the left, a two-light cross-mullioned casement, and to its right, a similar casement altered to form a French window. To the left of this is a square bay window with a crenellated parapet and a four-light cross-mullioned casement, plus a single transomed light on each side. To the right is a two-storey canted bay window with a crenellated parapet, a three-light mullioned and transomed casement, and flanked single mullioned casements. Above, the centre has two plain sashes with deep chamfered surrounds. To the left is a three-light cross-mullioned casement, and to the right a bay window with a three-light mullioned opening flanked by single lights, all with plain sashes. Above this, to the left is a mullioned opening with two sashes, and to the right, a plain sash in a chamfered opening. There is a recess containing a moulded doorway with a segmental head and overlight; above this a square blank panel. To the left is a gabled wing with a two-storey canted bay window and a crenellated parapet, featuring a six-light cross-mullioned casement.

The north-east entrance front has, to the left, a roofless square porte-cochère with a four-centred arched opening on each side. Behind this is a three-story square crenellated tower porch with a moulded four-centred arched doorway and a two-leaf part-glazed door with wrought iron grilles. Above the door is a canted crenellated oriel window with a two-light cross casement. Above this is a mullioned opening with a double plain sash and hood mould. To the right is an irregular gabled facade in a similar style.

The interior features a cantilevered stone dogleg staircase with a landing and scrolled cast iron balustrade. Principal rooms have moulded cornices and classical wooden and marble fireplaces.
