Knole Hill Farmhouse

Knole Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse, dating from the 18th century, with probable earlier origins, and featuring early 19th and 20th-century alterations and additions. The farmhouse is constructed of sandstone rubble with limestone dressings, with limestone rubble to the rear, some rendered areas, and canted bays which are also rendered and lined out. It has double Roman tiled roofs, raised coped verges, diagonal brick coping, and brick gable stacks.

The original part of the farmhouse is two storeys high with three windows. It features a central 6-panelled door within a moulded architrave, topped with a flat stone hood supported by console brackets. Above the door is a sash window within a moulded architrave with a floating cornice. Canted bays extend through two storeys to either side, each with a sash window on both the ground and first floors, featuring 8 panes. Raised long and short quoins extend above the parapet, with moulded coping that ramps down at the sides. A date of 1763 is displayed on the rear of the building.

To the right is a two-storey addition with a pitched roof and a sash window at the first floor. To the left is a single-storey lean-to. The right return has four windows, all dating from the 19th century, with brick segmental heads. Features include varied windows under the eaves, an external stair leading to a first-floor door, a central cellar door, and a lean-to addition. The left return has no windows on the main house, except for a lean-to with a door, an external stair, and a blocked window.

The rear of the farmhouse includes three projecting wings. The wing to the left has a steeply pitched roof and 20th-century windows at ground and first floor, with a lean-to addition. The central, taller gabled wing, with a stack, features a 20th-century first-floor window, rendering, a 20th-century single-storey addition, and a lean-to. A 20th-century window is positioned to the inner side at ground, first, and second floors, with a segmental stone head. The wing to the right is taller and gabled, with a 20th-century pivoted sash window on the ground and second floors, and a porch in the angle with the main house, featuring a door with heavy wooden framing and strap hinges. The rear of the main house has a 3-light 19th-century casement window at ground floor, with a timber lintel; a large plate-glass window at first floor with a brick segmental head and sides; and a rear lean-to to the right featuring a door with strap hinges and a cambered head, and a small single-light window above with a timber lintel, formerly a larger opening. The interior has not been inspected.
