Knoll Cottage

Knoll Cottage is a house dating from around 1570, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame that is plastered and has a thatched roof. The building has a four-bay, three-cell cross-entry plan that has been modified to include a lobby entrance. It stands two storeys tall.

On the ground floor, the original entrance was located to the left of the centre but is now blocked by a two-light leaded casement window with a fanlight above it, set in an original four-centred arched doorhead. The lobby entrance features an 18th-century six raised fielded panelled door within a 20th-century glazed porch. There are transomed three-light leaded casements with metal-framed opening lights and hoodboards. The first floor has similar one and two-light casements, and above the original entrance, there is a Norwich Insurance marker.

A ridge stack is positioned to the right of centre between the hall and parlour, with a rebuilt cap. The roof is hipped to the left, where the service end is located, and has a catslide over a single-storey 19th-century brick lean-to that includes a three-light glazing bar casement. The right gable end features two-light casements, leaded on the ground floor, with exposed plates and purlins. At the rear, there is a rebuilt stack at the service end with a pantiled brick oven outshut, a boarded cross-entry door, and a short 20th-century projection to the rear right.

Inside, the cottage has stop-chamfered binding beams, joists, mid-rails, and a fireplace bressumer. There are traces of three doorways leading to the service bay, which originally had stairs to the rear. The first floor displays close studding, cranked and reverse cranked braces in the walling, and a five-light diamond mullioned window at the rear. Arched braces connect jowled posts to chamfered cambered tie beams, and the roof features clasped purlins with cranked windbraces.
