Pound Cottage

Pound Cottage is a cottage that has been divided, dating from around 1600 and the mid-17th century, with some alterations made in the late 19th century. It is timber framed with wattle and daub and brick infill, and the right-hand gable end has been rebuilt in brick. The roof is covered with plain tiles. The framing features square panels, three from the sole plate to the wall plate, with corner braces and tension braces at the rear. The cottage has two framed bays and is one storey with an attic.

There is an external brick end stack on the right and a 19th-century external brick lateral stack at the front, which is off-centre to the left. A large central 17th-century timber framed full dormer has a pair of 19th-century two-light wooden casements, along with a collar and tie-beam truss that includes queen struts and V-struts. There is a small window off-centre to the right and additional 19th-century two-light wooden casements to the right. The front features a pair of boarded doors, and the left-hand gable end is jettied with a moulded bressumer and a stepped queen-strut truss. At the rear, there is a 19th-century lean-to addition.

Inside, there are a pair of ovolo-moulded spine beams with run-out stops, a timber framed cross wall with tension braces, and a chamfered ground-floor wall plate. The central collar and tie-beam truss has queen struts and a king post, with the tie-beam featuring ovolo-moulding on the east side. The ovolo-moulded tie-beam suggests that the cross wall was originally external. The building likely started as a one-cell cottage and was later extended by one bay to the east.
