Description
Knights Cottage is a 17th-century building originally constructed as two single-unit cottages, now functioning as a house. It features coursed limestone rubble and a thatched roof with brick stacks. The cottage is one storey with an attic and has a three-window range. There are timber lintels above a central 20th-century door and an adjoining blocked door, as well as over early 20th-century two-and three-light casements. The three half dormers contain early 20th-century two-light casements. The gabled roof has gable end stacks, and there is a timber lintel over an 18th-century two-light leaded casement in the left gable wall.
Attached to the front right corner is a single-storey service block made from similar materials, featuring a late 19th-century two-light window, a plank door, and a five-light leaded casement on the front wall. Inside, there are 19th-century plank doors. The left room has a full set of stop-chamfered beams and joists, along with an open fireplace that includes a 20th-century bressumer. The room to the right has a chamfered and stopped beam, a late 19th-century partition under the central beam, and late 19th-century quarter-turn stairs. The I-bay roof is obscured, but the original purlins remain.
