Low Knipe

Low Knipe is a house, likely dating from the late 17th century, with later additions. It is constructed of roughcast stone rubble with a slate roof. The west-facing elevation is two storeys high and five bays wide. A dripstone runs above the ground floor, raised over the entrance and stopping short of the northern bay. The ground floor features a sashed window with glazing bars in the first bay, a three-light mullioned window with small paned glazing and a fire window in the second bay, a window that was originally of two lights, now a small-paned casement, in the fourth bay, and a casement window in the fifth bay. The first floor has similar window openings, although the third, fourth, and fifth bays have metal casements. An embattled entrance with a glazed door is located in the third bay. The house has gable-end stacks, with the southern stack corbelled, and a central axial stack. At the rear is a two-storey outshut. The interior has not been inspected, but may include a winding stair and original doors. A lintel inscribed "17 H & MN 07" suggests a connection to the stonemason Nicholson.
