Description
Knights Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to the 16th century but was refashioned in 1837. It is constructed of stone rubble with freestone dressings and features a thatched roof with stone coping at the gable ends. The building has two storeys and a four-window range, with 19th-century two and three-light ovolo moulded stone mullion windows that include hood moulds. The first floor has gables above with kneelers. There is an off-centre left-hand doorway leading to a cross-passage, which is sheltered by a 19th-century gabled porch featuring a chamfered doorway and a hood mould with the date "late 1837" inscribed above. The farmhouse has brick chimney stacks located at the ridge and gable ends, and the rear is partly rendered. A rear wing has a half-hipped thatched roof. Inside, the farmhouse features jointed cruck trusses, a plank and muntin screen in the cross-passage, and part of another plank and muntin screen at the east end, along with chamfered ceiling beams.
