Description
Pond House is a house dating from around 1760. The front is constructed of Flemish bond brick with flared headers, while the rest of the building is made of chalk rubble with brick dressings. It features a gabled old tile roof and brick end stacks. The house has a two-unit plan, is two storeys high with an attic, and has a three-window range. There is a segmental arch over a 20th-century door located to the left of a blocked doorway, and segmental arches above three-light casements with stone sills. The eaves are dentilled, and there is a roof dormer. To the left, there is a one-bay range that is one storey and an attic, with chalk rubble walls and a gabled 19th-century tile roof, along with a three-light casement and dormer. Inside, there are two- and six-panelled doors, a timber-framed partition to the left, and a brick fireplace to the right. The left range was used as the Village Reading Room before the Village Hall was built in 1895.
