Description

KNOCKIN C.P. KNOCKIN SJ 32 SW

7/43 Vine Tree House -

GV II

Farmhouse, now house. Late C17 or early C18 but probably incorporating part of an earlier building; later additions and alterations. Red brick (mixed bond) with red sandstone blocks on ground floor to left gable end; slate roof, graded to rear. Original house of 3 bays with central baffle entry; projecting gabled range to left (possibly formerly agricultural) added later (see straight joint to left gable end) forming present L-plan. Single-bay cowhouse attached to right gable end is also a later addition. 2 storeys with floor band to long range. This has C19 wooden mullioned and transomed windows to left and right of 4-panel door (top panels now glazed) under C19 flat-roofed trellised porch to left, those to first floor directly below eaves and those to ground floor with segmental heads. Similar windows to gabled range, one on each floor and both with segmental heads. Infilled segmental- headed window immediately to right of right ground-floor window to long range and another to left of cowhouse. Red brick ridge stack directly above entrance has projecting bands and C19 purple brick capping. Integral lateral stack to left return of gabled range which has infilled narrow rectangular air vents. Cross-shaped air vents to cowhouse. Red brick outshut to rear of long range in centre. Interior. Inspection not possible at time of resurvey (November 1986) but likely to be of interest. C19 red brick outbuilding at right angles to rear on right of long range is not of special architectural interest.
