Pound Corner House

Pound Corner House is a house, originally divided into two cottages, dating to the 17th century. It is timber framed with colourwashed render and a plain tiled roof, likely originally thatched. The building has two storeys with an attic, and a baffle-entry, presenting a two-cell plan. The front elevation has largely 19th and 20th-century fenestration. A plank door is centrally located on the ground floor, with a single-light casement to the left. To the right of the door are 19th-century three-light casements. The first floor has a two-light and two single-light casements grouped within one frame on the right-hand side, and a similar arrangement on the left. A two-light window with an ovolo-moulded surround is centrally positioned on the first floor. A chimney stack rises from the ridge, featuring a moulded base for two flues. The right-hand gable end has 20th-century windows, including a four-light ground floor window, a two-light first floor window, and a two-light attic window. The left-hand gable end features a five-light casement with ovolo-moulded mullions (mostly 20th-century replacements) alongside a single-light, both contained within one frame, with a similar arrangement to the left. A two-light window with an ovolo-moulded surround is centrally placed. Another chimney stack on the ridge has a moulded base for two flues. The rear of the house incorporates 20th-century gable wings at the centre and right, with a flat-roofed two-storey range set between them. A recessed portion on the left has 20th-century French windows and, on the first floor, a four-light window with ovolo-moulded mullions and surround. Inside, the sitting room has chamfered beams and joists with stepped lamb's tongue end stops, a central hearth with a floating bressumer beam, close-studded walls containing one blocked window, and a similar arrangement in the other ground floor room. A winder staircase rises from the baffle-entry lobby. The first floor has close-studded walling, jowled wall posts, and blocked windows.
