Knights Cottage

Knights Cottage is a house dating from the early 18th century, constructed of rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a hipped roof made of corrugated asbestos. It features a lateral stack at the back with a rebuilt brick chimney. The layout consists of a two-room plan, with the larger room on the right (northwest) side having a lateral fireplace at the back, while the left (southeast) room is unheated, subdivided, and has a new staircase installed. The right room may have originally been open to the roof and the house is built on a sloping site, with the higher end on the right.

The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical northeast front with two windows, each containing two-light casements with glazing bars. There is a doorway on the left featuring a 20th-century glazed door. The southeast end and the rear have various casement windows with glazing bars, and at the centre of the rear, there is a 20th-century glazed door next to a small weatherboarded outshut.

Inside, the northwest room contains a lateral stone fireplace with an unchamfered timber lintel and a cloam oven with its cloam door, above which is a cast-iron door. The floor in this room has been updated. The southeast room has been subdivided, and a staircase has been added at the front. The roof structure is a simple collar-truss design, with collars lapped and pegged to the principals, which have mortice and tenoned apexes. There are no common rafters; instead, horizontal battens span the bays between the trusses, and the thatch was laid directly on top. The entire roof structure shows signs of light smoke blackening. The original thatch has been removed and replaced with a modern roof structure built over the old one.
