Details
PAINSWICK KNAP LANE SO 8609/8709 (east side) 7/366 Knap Orchard House GV II House, attached to earlier cottage. 1926 by Detmar Blow. Squared limestone, stone slate roof. An L-plan plus projecting wing. The main garden front is 2 storeys and attic with 3 gables; ground floor has recessed chamfer stone mullioned casements grouped 2:2 the 2:2:2 then 2:2:2 light with plank door in square moulded surround between bays one and two, all these under a continuous string. At first floor each gable has paired casements, under small single lancets in the upper levels, also a single paired casement over the door. The right return has a gable with oculus over a 2:2:2-light casement; beyond this a projection with a 4-light metal casement over a small yard. The entrance arch has a single gable has similar fenestration to garden front, with 2:2-light casement over a large plank door, left, then 2:2:2-light below the gable. The right return has two gables with single lancets over paired casements at ground and first floors and a blocked 2-light; to the right is a small quadrant wall with 2 lancets. Each wing has a large ridge stack in ashlar. The interior has the original panelling in stair hall and in two ground floor rooms en-suite; also two good fireplaces in traditional design, one with 'Jacobean' overmantel and the date 1926. Stair has splat balusters. There is a connection to Knapp Cottage (qv) through a door disguised as a bookcase: the cottage is assumed to have been a service wing to the new house. A very assured and careful study by the architect, who lived in the adjoining parish and undertook considerable work in Painswick, but this is unusually a complete new building by him.
