Pond Farm

Pond Farm is a late 16th-century timber-framed house, originally a farmhouse, later divided into cottages. A T-shaped wing was added in the 1930s, along with a single-bay extension to the east and a large bay built onto the original lobby entrance on the south front, also in the 1930s. The south front of the original timber-framed section shows four bays of unequal width, with late 16th or early 17th-century brick infill, while other elevations are brick. The pegtiled roof has a late 16th-century brick stack positioned off-centre, a 20th-century stack at the junction with the eastern 1930s extension, and a brick stack to the 1930s wing.

The house is two storeys high, with six 1930s casement windows on the north front and three on the south front. The plan is now T-shaped, incorporating the 1930s extensions. The south front displays exposed curved tension braces, and the brick infill is constructed in both headed and English bond. A 20th-century French window is located on the west side, and a 1930s lean-to extension is attached to the east. The north front is largely brick, dating from the 19th century and constructed in Flemish bond with platband and plinth. A central 1930s bay features two casements. The easternmost bay is a 1930s extension, constructed in brick and incorporating timbers arranged in a Queenpost pattern, salvaged from a demolished barn. The west wing is approximately from the 1930s, built with brown brick in stretcher bond under a tiled roof with a brick end chimney stack, and has four windows. A gabled brick porch features casement windows.

Inside the easternmost bay is an open fireplace with a massive wooden bressumer, incorporating round-head arches within the chimney breast, and oak seats inserted in the 1930s. Massive square floor joists, some running north to south with run-out stops, are also present, along with a mid-rail to the wall frame. An adjoining room features square floor joists. Centre and side posts are reused timbers from the demolished barn. The 1930s wing includes a galleried hall decorated with curved braces from the same barn. A distinctive 1930s brick fireplace with a circular hearth is located to the south, originally accompanied by window seats. There is also 17th-century style panelling and 18th-century balusters. The first floor features a 1930s marble fireplace with an original gas fire and a pawed light fitting on a pulley, along with original 1930s sanitary fittings. The exposed frame shows sharply angled or gunstock jointed posts, curved wind braces and a weathered end gable with a Queenpost roof.
