Knaworthy Farmhouse

Knaworthy Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with a later 17th-century extension on the right. The building features colourwashed render over coursed slatestone rubble and has a gabled Welsh slate roof, with a rendered stone ridge stack and an external stack on the left end. The original early 17th-century structure has a one-unit plan with a rear outshut, while the later extension introduced a two-unit plan with a central lobby entry. This extension likely included a parlour on the left, a central hall, and an unheated service room on the right. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a five-window range. It features a 20th-century door and porch, with flat rendered arches over 20th-century windows. The rear left has a 17th-century outshut that was heightened in the 20th century and is adjacent to the 20th-century porch.

Inside, the early 17th-century section on the left retains a plaster panel with relief lettering reading IHTH/1529, a chamfered beam, and an open fireplace with a cloam oven in the front room. This room also has two 17th-century chamfered wooden doorframes leading to the rear outshut, which originally contained a staircase that has since been removed. The first floor features three similar doorframes, one with an ovolo-moulded architrave. The later 17th-century extension to the right includes a central room, formerly the hall, which has a stone-flag floor, a roll-stopped beam, scribed joists, an open fireplace with a cloam oven, and a chamfered doorframe leading to the staircase at the rear of the stack. There is also a chamfered beam in the room to the right. The extension features two 17th-century A-frame trusses, with pegged collars—one of which has an open notch-lapped joint—and a ridge purlin set in notched apexes. The early 17th-century plaster panel is notable for its 1527 date, which may commemorate an important marriage.
