Description

Knowle is a house dating from the late 18th century, constructed of granite rubble with side walls covered in roughcast. It features slated roofs and has rendered chimneys on each gable, with the left-hand stack projecting slightly. The building is two storeys high with a garret and has a symmetrical three-window front with a central doorway. The doorway has 20th-century doors and a semi-circular moulded hood in an early Georgian style, possibly incorporating an older patterned fanlight. The outer windows are three-part wood sashes, with the middle sashes having six panes and the outer sashes having two panes. Above the doorway is a six-paned wood sash. All windows have moulded architraves, although the ground-storey windows are 20th-century replicas, with concrete lintels above the openings. The eaves cornice is bracketed, and there are three gabled dormers, each featuring a two-light casement window with two panes per light. The interior has not been fully inspected, but it includes a wooden main stair with slender turned balusters, and the ground-storey front windows have panelled shutters. Additionally, there are a pair of gateposts, likely from the late 17th or early 18th century, made of granite. These square-section posts have tall shaped and carved tops surmounted by large balls. The gateposts are located at the path entrance about 90 metres south-east of the house.
