Pinford Farmhouse

Pinford Farmhouse is a house that likely underwent rebuilding in the early 18th century, originally a late-medieval timber-frame structure. It features painted rubble and timber framing with a tiled roof and has one storey with an attic. The west wall displays two 20th-century casement windows with glazing bars to the left of a 20th-century lean-to glazed porch. Inside the porch, there is a window and a door with plain reveals. Above the porch, there are two gabled attic dormers. To the right of the porch is another 20th-century window, and above it, extending upwards under a gable, is a casement window with glazing bars. There are chimneys to the right of the door and projecting from the rear wall. The right-hand return wall, facing south, features a gabled oversailing upper storey clad in corrugated iron. At the rear of the house, there is a gable aligned with the front gable, which has a truss exposed above a later extension. Between the tie-beam and collar are two struts, with curved struts above. The rear wall also has some square-panelled framing exposed on the first floor.

The interior was partially accessible during the survey in March 1986. The room entered from the front door has a timber-framed left-hand wall and chamfered main beams spanning from front to back. At the rear of the house, in front of the left-hand wall, there is a cruck blade carved to form a bracket where it meets a chamfered and stopped ceiling beam. The front blade has been removed, and the beam has been extended to meet the front wall. This ceiling beam is likely contemporary with the cruck, suggesting that this part of the house has always had a ceiling or that it was a mantel beam in an open hall.
