Knockwood is a house dating from the late 17th century. It is timber framed and covered in weatherboard, topped with a plain tile roof. The building has two storeys set on a brick plinth, featuring a hipped roof with a chimney located at the centre right and another at the left end, which extends into a projecting catslide outshot. The first floor has three 20th-century wood casement windows, while the ground floor has one wood casement window and a boarded door to the left.
