Description
Pound House is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from 1658 as indicated by a datestone, with alterations made in the 18th century and an extension added in the 20th century. The building is constructed of coursed squared limestone and coursed rubble, topped with a concrete plain-tile roof that features rebuilt stacks. It has a three-unit lobby-entry plan and stands two storeys high with attics.
The front of the house has four windows. To the left of the centre, there is a blocked doorway beneath a small two-light window. The flanking bays each have large tripartite sash windows on both floors, while the bay on the extreme right features wide four-light windows with 19th-century iron casements. All windows, except for one, are adorned with richly-moulded stop-chamfered lintels. The roof has stacks aligned with the doorway and to the right gable, and it has been raised at the front. The left gable wall has aligned blocked windows across three floors.
At the rear, there is a gabled stair projection that includes a large casement window with a moulded stop-chamfered lintel. A single-storey rubble bay to the right of the main range may date from the 18th century, and there is a 20th-century rear wing. The interior has not been inspected but is noted to contain some panelling.
