Description
The Knoll is a tall, square house built in 1844 of stone rubble with slate quoins and a slate roof, featuring gables on each side. It is associated with the writer Harriet Martineau, who built it for her own use and where she died in 1876, and was visited by Mrs Gaskell and Charlotte Brontë. The house has two storeys, with clustered round chimneys and 16-paned sash windows with decorative stone labels. The front overlooking the garden includes a bay window and wooden mullioned and transomed windows. A boarded door is topped by a traceried fanlight, sheltered by a hood supported on wooden Tuscan columns.
