Description
Little Knapp is a cottage, likely dating back to the 18th century or earlier. It was originally two cottages, part of the Digby Estate, numbered 149 and 150, and has since been converted into a single dwelling. The building is two storeys high and has two windows. It is constructed from stone rubble, with a thatched roof. The windows are small, two-light wooden casements with small panes of glass. The front door is a six-panelled design, with the two upper panels glazed, and has a lintel above it.
