Threshing barn and attached structures at Pond Farm, Stoven

A late 18th-century threshing barn with later additions from the mid-19th century, late 19th century, and second half of the 20th century. The barn is constructed primarily of red brick and timber, with a corrugated metal sheet roof. Later extensions are brick, and a 20th-century barn has a steel frame.

The threshing barn retains its threshing floor but has lost part of its original porch. The later extensions lack a formal design. The west-facing elevation, which fronts onto the farmyard, is four bays wide. The northern two bays are brick-built, with a prominent stone plinth in English bond brickwork and the upper wall in monk bond. The wall contains two narrow ventilation slits and a pair of large wooden doors leading to the threshing floor. The right-hand side of the wall is weatherboarded, while the left-hand side abuts a larder attached to the farmhouse. The north elevation extends beyond the farmhouse larder and is also built of red brick in monk bond.

On the east elevation, the barn has been extended outwards beyond the threshing porch to form a lean-to extension with a slate roof and red brick walls, incorporating an open-sided shelter or store. Projecting east from the barn is a stable or shelter built between 1838 and 1883. This structure has red brick walls in monk bond, a hipped roof covered in glazed pantiles, and a dentil eaves cornice. It has no windows on its north or east sides and adjoins a large, steel-framed barn clad with corrugated sheets, which was constructed after 1945 and is open-sided to the south. A corner of the post-1945 barn connects to the threshing barn, within which sits a small brick-built structure with a pantiled roof.

Inside the threshing barn, the brick threshing floor remains, with concrete flooring on either side. The original roof structure is still in place, incorporating common rafters, tie beams, butt purlins, and collars at each principal rafter. The form of the original threshing porch has been obscured by later extensions on the east side of the barn. These extensions contain surviving stall partitions and mangers, indicating past use as stables, although some areas are more open and may have served as cattle shelters or general stores. The large 20th-century barn has no internal fixtures.
