Description

Knoll Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse located on Mill Lane in Tong. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features an old tile roof. The building has three storeys and includes a stone plinth, plat bands between each floor, a toothed brick eaves cornice, parapeted gable ends, and end stacks. The facade has a 1:3:1 bay rhythm, with segmental-headed windows on the first and ground floors that have 19th-century wooden casements. There are two early 19th-century glazing bar sashes on the ground floor flanking a central six-panelled door, which has the top four panels glazed and the bottom two flush. This door is accompanied by a two-light rectangular overlight, panelled reveals, and a plain architrave. A 19th-century timber-framed gabled porch is also present. The farmhouse has set-back one-storey wings with a parapet that ramps up to the centre, square end piers topped with urn finials, and 19th-century wooden framed cross windows at the front, which feature segmental relieving arches.
