Pond Farmhouse

Pond Farmhouse is a house that likely dates from the late 16th century, with additions from the 17th and 18th centuries. It has a timber frame that is rendered at the rear, while the front is finished with pebbledash and features applied half-timbering. The roof is made of glazed brick pantiles. The original layout consists of two cells from the 16th century, with a 17th-century bay added to the south and an 18th-century cross-wing to the north.

The facade has five bays, is two storeys high with an attic, and includes 19th and 20th-century casement windows. There is a projecting gabled bay on the northern side, with a 20th-century door to its right. The first floor has five casements and a 20th-century attic window. An off-centre axial stack is present, along with an 18th-century external stack on the north gable wall.

Inside, there is an ovolo moulded beam with an elaborately carved stop in the ground floor room to the south, and the walls feature close studwork. A two-light ovolo moulded mullion window is located in the stair bay leading to the first floor. The corner posts are supported by arched braces, and a heavy chamfer is seen on the transverse beam in the central upper room, which has a bar stop and nick. The roof structure is a butt-purlin type. In the attic, there is a five-light diamond mullion window that has been enclosed by the 18th-century addition. The former exterior wall displays incised pargetting and a scored round window designed to imitate ashlar.
