The Knapp

The Knapp is a former row of three houses that has been converted into a detached house. It dates from the 17th century, with additions from the late 18th century, 19th century, and 20th century. The building features a timber frame, with random rubble and coursed limestone on the southern addition, and a brick northern addition. The chimneys are made of limestone ashlar and brick, and the roofs are thatched and plain tiled.

The structure is L-shaped, consisting of a single storey with an attic, a two-storey north cross wing, and a two-storey south addition. On the east side, the central house has small framing with short straight bracing and scattered 20th-century casement windows. There is a central 20th-century thatched gabled timber framed porch and three thatched roof dormers. The stone addition to the left was formerly a separate cottage, featuring a segmental-arched upper floor window with a 20th-century casement and a blocked off-centre doorway below with a timber lintel. A 17th-century ridge-mounted chimney with a moulded cap is located at the left end of the timber framed house.

At the south end, there is a stone gable end with an attached garage, which may have been a former cottage but has been rebuilt, featuring a pantile roof and a brick ridge-mounted chimney. The west side shows small framing on a limestone plinth, with scattered 20th-century casements and two thatched dormers, one of which has a small-paned casement. There is a brick lean-to at the gable end of the 19th-century north cross wing and a glazed porch at the junction with the 17th-century house. A single 20th-century casement is present in the stone addition to the south. The north end features a 19th-century gable to the right, built up in brick off the rubble stone 17th-century cellar walls, which are all painted. There is a 20th-century extension to the left, a single leaded casement, and two small cellar casements. The central 17th-century house retains complete timber framing internally.
