Pound Cottage

Pound Cottage is a house that dates from the late 15th century or early 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is an open hall house with three cells, standing one and a half storeys tall with attics. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, with part of the front underbuilt in 20th-century painted brick. The roof is covered with cedar shingles and features a red brick axial chimney, along with monopitch casement dormers. The windows are 20th-century small-pane casements, and the entrance door is battened and boarded. In the mid-17th century, a first-floor structure was inserted into the two-bay open hall, and the roof was rebuilt using soot-blackened rafters from the original coupled-rafter roof. A chimney was also inserted between the hall and the parlour. Additionally, a further cell was added to the left, along with a wing at the rear in the early 18th century.
