Pond Cottage

Pond Cottage is a cottage dating from the mid to late 17th century, with a late 20th-century extension. It features a timber frame, plaster-rendered walls, and a long straw thatched roof with a half-hipped design. The original red brick ridge stack has a 19th-century flue added in gault brick. The cottage has a traditional 17th-century layout consisting of a single range with three bays, and it is one storey high with an attic. There is one gabled dormer on the front, which has stippled pargetting on the gable end. The front also includes four wood horizontal sliding sash windows with small panes, while the doorway has been relocated to the rear. The late 20th-century extension at the back is two storeys high, with rendered walls and a reed thatched roof. Inside, the original plan of the cottage is preserved, featuring a partition wall between the former hall/kitchen and the service end. Some of the framing is exposed, displaying typical upward wall bracing from the principal posts to the wall plate, and the clasped side purlin roof is also visible.
