House. Circa 1900. Possibly by Prentice. Squared limestone with stone slate

left is one bay which has 2-light windows. To its right is a canted bay window
which has four lights with a transom at the front and two lights to each side,
and has a dentilled cornice below a parapet with coping. Above under a gable
are two 3-light windows with trasoms, and a carved initial "W". Set back at

two-centred archway on the ground floor and a 4-light window above. Top Farmhouse

since been sub-divided and his extensions now form Knap House. (Houghton, CC:
