| Summary : Grandy's Knowe, now The Knowe, is an early 18th century farmhouse built onto the east end of an earlier bastle. The bastle, which is roofless, is rectangular in shape and measures 9.15 metres by 6.7 metres externally with walls of large roughly squared blocks up to 1.3 metres thick. The walls of the bastle stand to an average height of 1.5 metres. The eastern wall and the eastern end of the north wall stand considerably higher as they have been incorporated into the adjacent farmhouse. The farmhouse is of two storeys and is built of rubble with a 20th century asbestos roof. The interior retains two upper cruck roof trusses with slender tapering blades, those of the eastern truss scarfed. |
