Description
Kneeton Hall is a farmhouse with an attached outbuilding, dating from the late 16th century, with alterations in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a pantile roof. The main range is five bays with a rear wing to the south and a cross wing to the left, with a two-bay outbuilding attached to the right.
The north elevation of the main range features quoins on the right side. The central doorway has a four-panel door with an overlight, set within an architrave with bases, moulding, a pulvinated frieze, and cornice. Sash windows with four panes are set within architraves. Shaped kneelers and ashlar coping are visible on the right side. Ashlar end stacks are present. The two-bay outbuilding to the right has a lower ground floor; it includes a 20th-century metal garage door in a quoined coach-house doorway with an ashlar segmental-pointed arch, a boarded door in an architrave with torus and scotia moulding on bases, and two shuttered first-floor openings with chamfered surrounds, originally mullioned and stanchioned. Shaped kneelers and ashlar coping complete the right side of the outbuilding. The projecting cross wing to the left has quoins and a three-light mullion window on the ground floor, a three-light mullion-and-transom window on the first floor, and a three-light mullion window in the gable, all with chamfered details. It also features shaped kneelers and moulded coping to the gable. A roughcast two-storey lean-to has been added to the left, with a door-head featuring weathered lettering, possibly dated 1597, set within the gable end. A large external stack rises through the lean-to roof on the left return of the cross wing. A boarded door in a chamfered surround is also present on the right return of the cross wing.
The south elevation of the rear wing has quoins and includes a double-chamfered surround with a missing mullion for a two-light mullion window, a six-panel door in a chamfered surround, two four-pane sash windows in architraves, and a blocked double-chamfered cross window on the ground floor. The first floor features a four-pane sash window at landing level and two chamfered cross windows, the third of which is blocked. Shaped kneelers and ashlar coping are present. The rear elevation of the main range has quoins and blocked surrounds of single-light windows on the first and second floors. The rear of the cross wing has quoins, a three-light mullion window on the ground floor, a three-light mullion-and-transom window on the first floor, and a blocked three-light mullion window in the gable, all with chamfered details, and features moulded coping and remains of a finial. The left return of the rear wing has a blocked two-light chamfered mullion window in the gable, while the right return has a two-light mullion window on the ground floor, a blocked cross window on the first floor, and a blocked two-light mullion window in the gable, all chamfered.
The interior includes panelled shutters to the 18th-century windows. The rear wing contains an 18th-century staircase with turned balusters shaped like octagonal columns tapering downwards to vases. A plain square-headed doorway dated 1597, with illegible letters and the date 1616 above the door-head, is recorded in the Victoria County History.
