Description

West Knole House is a detached house with origins in the late 16th century. It is located on the north side of Knole Causeway in Long Sutton. The house is constructed of local lias stone with squared details and Ham stone dressings. The roof is thatched, featuring stepped coped gables and brick end chimney stacks.

The house is single-storey with attics and has four bays. The two bays on the left have hollow-chamfered mullioned windows with rectangular leaded panes and labels above. The two bays on the right have smaller-pane casement windows. Above, set into the thatch, is a 20th-century three-light leaded casement in the first bay. Bays two and three feature early pattern three-light timber windows with leaded panes and iron opening lights, while bay four has a 20th-century casement. Offset buttresses mark the late style on both sides of the first bay. A boarded door with two glazed panels is set within a heavy frame.

The interior is reported to contain stud and plank partitions, large stone fireplaces, chamfered beams with scroll stops, a stone staircase within a turret, and a possible bacon curing chamber.
