Description
The Pump House is a house dating from the mid-17th century that was converted into three cottages in the 19th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with freestone dressings and features Collyweston stone slated roofs. The building has a ridge stack on the left and an end stack on the right, both with paired brick shafts and stone cornices, along with a 20th-century brick side stack to the east.
The structure is one storey with attics and has a main range with a cross wing to the east. The gables have chamfered copings. The entrance has a moulded cornice and a four-centred chamfered arch leading to a 20th-century boarded door, flanked by two three-light ovolo mullioned casement windows. The window to the right was added around 1930 to replace a door. There are small windows with chamfered jambs on both sides. A dormer window with a facade parapet gable features a smaller three-light window similar to those on the ground floor. The gable of the cross wing includes a two-storey canted bay window with two windows, each containing three ovolo mullioned lights.
Inside, the building has stop-chamfered ceiling beams and timber-framed internal partitions. The west room has an open hearth with a chamfered, cambered mantel beam and freestone jambs. The centre room features a moulded four-centred arched stone chimney piece that has been partly restored and includes a moulded cornice. A similar hearth is found in the first-floor room to the west. There is also a fitted corner cupboard from the 18th century. The older foundation stones are visible, projecting in the north and east elevations.
