Knockfarrie Cottage, Knockfarrie Road

Knockfarrie Cottage is a two-story, five-bay gabled Victorian villa dated 1877 and subsequently sub-divided in 1946 by John S H Brander. The building is constructed from squared and snecked rubble with stugged ashlar quoins, featuring a partial moulded dividing course and corbels. Stone mullions have stop-chamfered arrises.

The south (principal) elevation has a rustic timber porch with a decorative cast-iron finial to the central bay, housing a panelled timber door and a single window above that breaks the eaves into a dormerhead. Tripartite windows are present on each floor of full-height flanking canted bays, with a datestone in the timber-braced gablehead of the left canted bay and a polygonal bellcast roof above the right canted bay. Broad outer bays feature bipartite windows to the ground floor and single windows to the first floor, with the left window set in a gablehead and the right window with a small dormerhead breaking the eaves.

The west elevation includes a window high up in the narrow gablehead, breaking the eaves to the right of centre, and a rounded angle corbelled to square at the first floor. A gabled bay returns to the left, with a window to the ground floor, and a narrow recessed bay at the outer left provides steps up to a timber door, with a narrow light above and a further narrow light close to the eaves at the first floor.

The north (Knockfarrie Road) elevation is four bays wide, with a further two-bay wing projecting to the left. Four set-back bays are positioned to the right of centre, featuring a broad projecting gable to the right containing a tiny window in a blinded door with flanking windows and a monogrammed stone above an incorporated string course, and a single window above. A lower, narrow gabled bay to the outer right is corbelled to the first floor with a narrow light. A narrow window is set within a squat, turret-roofed, rounded bay to the ground floor in a re-entrant angle to the left, and a further window is located to the outer left. The advanced wing to the outer left incorporates a lean-to single-story structure to the ground floor, and a door with a letterbox fanlight on its return to the right.

The east elevation is characterized by a variety of elements and an asymmetrical arrangement of windows.

The windows are timber sash and case with four-pane and plate glass glazing, with modern glazing in the north wing. Grey slates cover the roof. Coped ashlar stacks incorporate polygonal cans. Overhanging eaves are present with plain bargeboarding and decorative timberwork to the gableheads. Cast-iron downpipes feature decorative rainwater hoppers and fixings.

A rectangular-plan ancillary building, constructed from red brick with a slated roof, brick ridge stack, and finialled pyramidal ventilator, abuts the northeastern boundary wall. The ground floor to the south is partially obscured by the boundary wall but features two segmental-headed openings to the left and two dormerheaded openings breaking the eaves to the right, with a similar opening located centrally to the north.

A flat-coped, narrow-banded rubble terrace wall runs east-west to the south, incorporating a decorative cast-iron gate. Pyramidally-coped square-section ashlar gatepiers are situated to the east, along with coped rubble boundary walls.
