Details
STATION ROAD 1. 1633 (West Side) Grotto in the garden of Knowle Grange (Flats) including rockery, pool, vase, pedestal and summerhouse SY 1287 1/220 12.10.51. II 2. (Knowle Grange is a modern block of flats). The garden was originally part of the grounds of Knowle Cottage (see Knowle, Sidmouth Urban District Offices, Station Road) and retains a grotto dating from the early C19, probably due to Mr Fish. It has a layout of paths, bays and circular spaces surrounded by rockeries of rustic stone. A pedestal with vase forms the central feature of one enclosure, an oval pool lined with pebbles of another. Axial to these at the south end is a semi circular summerhouse with vaulted roof. It is lined with rose quartz, picked out with a design of black pebbles. A wooden bench with trellis back runs round the interior. Picturesque. Curiosity value.
