Description
Knipe Hall is a late 16th-century house with alterations around 1630 and 18th-century additions. It has a bank barn attached to its northern end. The building is constructed of stone rubble, partly limewashed, with a slate roof, the barn gable-end being hipped. The north-east elevation shows a gabled wing to the south and the attached barn to the north, arranged over two storeys and five bays. A continuous dripstone runs over the first three bays of the ground floor and the entire first floor. The ground floor windows in the first three bays are single-chamfered mullioned, with leaded glazing. The end bays have smaller chamfered lights. The first floor has three-light windows, with horizontally sliding sash windows inserted in the bays; the end bay has a small light. Entrances in the first and fourth bays have chamfered reveals and blank doors. The wing has a coped gable and an end stack. The right return has a small-paned casement and a horizontally sliding sash. The south-east return has a gable-end stack and a dripcourse over the first floor. Ground-floor windows on this return are arranged 1:3:2-light, and the first floor windows are 1:2:2-light, all with wooden replacement mullions, the ground-floor opening of the wing having a label. The barn’s north-east elevation has an entrance and an inserted garage entrance, as well as three inserted windows, a winnowing door, and ventilation slots and holes.A triangular datestone, likely repositioned, reads "I & DT/1630" (Teasdale). The south-west elevation features a ramped barn entrance and two ground-floor entrances to the barn. The house has an outshut under a catslide roof, and sashed windows with glazing bars. To the left is a two-light labelled window with a large glazed opening above and small lights to the left.
