Description
Pound Farm House is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It is believed to date from the 13th and 14th centuries, with a central section from the 15th century and alterations from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. Further changes were made in 1968. The ground floor of the front elevation of the left wing is made of uncoursed stone, while the rest of the building is timber-framed and clad with red brick in Flemish bond. The ground floor of the right wing features a chequered pattern of red and grey brick, and the roof is covered with plain tiles.
The central open hall is said to have been constructed between the 14th-century cross-wings, which project slightly to the front, with the left wing possibly having a 13th-century ground floor. The left wing has been extended to the rear. The building has two storeys on a stone plinth, with the eaves of the right wing slightly higher. Both wings have hipped roofs at the front. There is a shouldered brick stack that used to project from the left gable end but is now within a lean-to, featuring moulded brick plinths at the base of the flues. A multiple brick ridge stack sits on a stone base at the right end of the main range.
The windows are irregularly arranged, including four casements: one three-light window in each wing, one single-light window above the door, and one two-light window to the right of the main range. There is a blocked rectangular stone window on the ground floor of the left wing. A 20th-century panelled door is located at the left end of the main range. To the left, there is a lean-to with a stone ground floor and red brick above, while a timber-framed rear lean-to, possibly from the 16th century, is clad with red brick in Flemish bond. The interior has not been inspected.
