The Knapp With Stables Walls And Front Garden Walls And Gate Piers

The Knapp is a detached house located on the east side of High Street in Sutton Veny. It dates from the late 17th century and was altered in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of English garden wall bond brick with stone quoins and features a tiled roof with coped verges and brick stacks. It is two stories high and has four windows across the front.

The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door set within a moulded stone architrave that includes a relieving arch. To the right of the door, there is a single-light casement and a tripartite sash window, while to the left, there is a fixed window, a tripartite sash, and a four-pane sash. On the first floor, there are four two-light casements.

The right side of the house has a brick and stone external stack and a single-light attic casement. The left side features an external stack and an early 19th-century parallel range with a twelve-pane sash window that has a cambered head and keystone. There are also 20th-century single-storey extensions at the rear, which includes an early 19th-century two-storey wing with two-light casements and twelve-pane sashes with flat arches and keystones. To the left of the rear, there is an outshut with patio doors and a two-storey bay added in the 20th century.

Attached to the left side of the house is a stable, which has a blind rubble stone wall at the front, a stable door, and a three-light casement window at the raised eaves of the loft at the rear. The return side of the stable has a blocked opening on the ground floor and double planked loft doors above. The interior of the stable retains cast-iron and wooden loose boxes.

In front of the house, there are rubble stone walls with pitched coping and ashlar panelled gate piers that have moulded cappings and decorative pineapples with acanthus leaves. The interior of the house was not accessible at the time of the survey in July 1985.
