Knapp Farmhouse

Knapp Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a dwelling. It has late medieval origins and was altered in the 16th century. The building was partly demolished at one point but underwent extensive restoration in the late 20th century. The exterior features roughcast over rubble, a double Roman tile roof, and brick stacks on both sides of the entrance. The structure originally had a three-cell layout with a cross passage, but now consists of two storeys and three bays, with all 20th-century casements and irregular fenestration. There is a central single-storey porch with a clay tiled roof, a window opening, and a plank door.

Although the interior was not seen, it is reported to contain significant period details. To the left of the cross passage, there is a six-panel steeply chamfered compartment ceiling with a double ogee moulded lintel above the fireplace, and a similar moulding on an elliptical headed stone doorway. To the right, there is a stud and panel screen with a resited entrance, a nine-panel compartment ceiling partly interrupted by inserted stairs, and a moulded lintel above the fireplace with a moulded shelf. Overall, the farmhouse reveals a surprising wealth of period detail behind its 20th-century facade.
