Description

Knock Cottage is a late 18th-century, two-storey, three-bay house situated on a sloping hillside. Shortly after its construction, an attic was added. A smaller, two-storey, three-bay cottage was later adjoined to the original house.

The original house is built of random rubble with stugged ashlar dressings and a raised, droved door surround. The house is situated on ground falling to the north. The south elevation features a bridging arch over the ground-floor doorway, adorned with decorative cast-iron railings. Windows are grouped closely on the first floor and are positioned below road level on the ground floor. To the east, the later cottage has no recessed area and features a central, fanlit door flanked by windows at road level.

The north elevation of the original house shows three bays, with a door centrally placed and an irregular arrangement of windows. A two-storey, piend-roofed, harled extension, dating from around 1900, adjoins the later cottage on the left. The west gable features a doorway to the outer right and a window to the left. A first-floor window is situated to the outer left, with a small attic window in the centre.

The windows have varied glazing patterns, mostly in sash and case style. Ashlar coped skews are present, along with gable end stacks. The roof is covered in grey slates. Rubble coped rubble boundary walls, rising above first-floor height at the northwest angle, abut the house. The statutory address is Innerwick, Knock Cottage with Boundary Walls.
