Stafford Knot House

Stafford Knot House is a former public house, now a house, dating from the early 19th century with 20th-century extensions. It was likely designed by Humphry Repton and John Addey Repton for George Freke Evans. The building is constructed of squared coursed limestone with a Collyweston slate roof. Originally built on an irregular U-shaped plan, the main front has a three-window range of leaded casement windows with diamond panes, set beneath shallow stone arches. The central bay projects forward, topped with a gable and bargeboards. The first-floor windows on either side also have gables with matching bargeboards, and smaller decorative gables above them. A single-storey porch was added to the right side with a 20th-century door. The front elevation to the left of the main front features a two-window range, with a gable and bargeboards to the right and a similar gablet to the left; the windows on the right are blind. A 20th-century single-storey extension has been built to the centre rear. A lateral stone stack is located at the rear. The interior was not inspected, although a room on the left side was noted to contain a reset 17th-century fireplace with a four-centred arch head. The building was originally known as the Stafford Knot Public House.
