Pond Farmhouse

Pond Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1500, with additions from the 17th and 19th centuries. It has a timber frame, with the rear rendered and colourwashed, and a colourwashed brick front. The roof is thatched, featuring gable parapets, and it has been rebuilt with end internal stacks and an axial stack. The building is an irregular single range of five bays, standing 1½ storeys tall and constructed in four phases: the fourth bay is from around 1500, bays three and five are early 17th century, bay two is later 17th century, and bay one is in brick from around 1800.

The principal facade faces southeast and shows the wall plate visible from bays two to five, with a slight angled break between bays two and three and the axial stack positioned between bays three and four. The ground floor has five casement openings with transoms, featuring three lights in bays one to four and four lights in bay five. There are three boarded doors, each with a coped canopy, located between bays one and two, three and four, and four and five. The roof includes four half dormers, each with a three-light casement and a raking thatched roof.

The left return is brick from around 1800, with two segmental-headed double casements, while the right return is 17th century brick with tumbling into a raised parapet, and a 19th century lean-to under pantiles. The rear, facing the road, has a floor level above the road and pavement, featuring three fixed rectangular openings close to the ground and three small openings near the eaves.

Inside, bay four consists of 1½ bays with two trusses featuring Queen posts and arched braces to both ties and collars, with ties to the trusses and a third truss that has been cut through. A central stack has been inserted through the third truss, and timber studding is visible above the tie. Some timber framing can be seen on the rear wall, including lozenge mortices for mullions from the wall plate over the rear wall opening.
