Description

Knowle Lodge, along with its attached screen wall and stable, is a house built around 1820. It features a stucco exterior with painted brick and a hipped double-pitch slate roof supported by brick stacks. The building has a double-depth, right-angle plan, with a service wing on the right side that connects to the stable across the front, as well as a rear billiard room and service wing.

In the Regency style, the house stands two stories high and has a four-window range with wide eaves. The entrance, located to the left of the center, includes a porch with Ionic columns, a deep frieze, and a cornice, along with an overlight above the glazed door. The windows are fitted with sills and 6-pane casements, although there is a 20th-century bay window to the left of the entrance. The building features four stacks.

The two-story wing has a round-headed entrance with a plank door, a window, and a recess on the ground floor, with one window on the first floor. The left side of the building has a three-window garden front that includes French windows leading to a verandah, supported by enriched openwork piers and curved braces, topped with a similar frieze and a swept roof. The rear of the house contains a single-storey billiard room with a louvre on the hipped roof, three cross-casement windows, and a lateral stack, along with a lower service wing.

On the right side, there is an entrance in a passage featuring a plain doorcase with a cornice and an overlight above a four-flush-panel door, which has an Egyptian style knocker. The screen wall facing the road has paired plank gates. To the right of the courtyard is a two-storey stable block, which includes a single-storey range at the rear and a screen wall with an embattled parapet at the front. The left end of the stable block has a wing that is now a garage with a 20th-century door. The stable itself has a hipped roof with a wind vane and windows. The left return to the yard features a large entrance with a shuttered pitching hole above and a stable door to the left, while the right return has a blocked large entrance and a stable door with a shuttered pitching hole above. The screen wall includes a round-arched gateway.
