A C19 glazed porch features a four-panelled door, with some panels cut away and glazed. Knapp Villa’s main south-west front comprises two storeys and three windows with intact glazing bars. It has a rendered front and a slate hipped roof. The front facing Lower Blandford Road also has windows with intact glazing bars, and a door at the right end with some panels cut away and glazed. A later gently coved canopy on panelled ironwork extends across the whole front.
