Description
Pond Farmhouse is a house that likely dates from the late 17th century. It has a timber frame and is plaster rendered, with soft red brick used for the gable ends and possibly part of the front wall. The roof is thatched with reed and features a rebuilt gault brick ridge stack. The house has a three-bay layout and a lobby entry plan, standing two storeys tall. There are segmental arches above four casement windows, which likely replace original openings. At the ground floor, there are three horizontal sliding sash windows from the 19th century, set in square heads. The doorway, located opposite the stack, features an early 19th-century reeded doorcase. The rear wall shows some exposed framing. The interior has not been seen.
