Pumney Farmhouse And Attached Barns And Shelter Sheds

Pumney Farmhouse, along with its attached barns and shelter sheds, is a Grade II listed building dating from the late 17th century, with extensions from the 18th century. The farmhouse is constructed from uncoursed limestone rubble, with the front featuring Flemish bond brickwork and dressed stone quoins and plinth. It has a gabled old tile roof and a large brick ridge stack that includes a dentilled band and cornice. The building follows a two-unit lobby-entry plan and is two storeys high with an attic, displaying a four-window range. A segmental brick arch is present over a 20th-century door, while the windows are mostly 20th-century replacements, except for a blocked window above the door. The ground-floor windows have flat stone arches with raised keys set into a stone string course above, and the first-floor windows are topped with flat brick arches. There is a moulded wood cornice and two gabled roof dormers featuring 19th-century two-light casements. The right side wall has three keyed flat stone arches over the windows.

To the left of the farmhouse is an early to mid-18th-century extension built of chequered brick, with a gabled old tile roof and a brick stack at the left end. This extension is two storeys high with a two-window range, a raised storey band, and a keyed segmental brick arch over a late 19th to 20th-century four-light casement. A later 18th-century service wing is located at the rear left, constructed of similar materials and featuring two leaded casements. This wing adjoins a 1960s lean-to at the rear.

Inside the farmhouse, there are cased beams, a small fireplace to the right with a timber bressumer over stone jambs, and a larger room to the left that has a moulded stone fireplace with carved decoration in the spandrels and a trailing-vine frieze.

The late 17th-century barn located to the rear of the farmhouse is built from uncoursed limestone rubble, with dressed stone quoins and brick dressings, and has a gabled old tile roof. It features a five-bay plan with a central threshing floor and an entry flanked by ventilation slits. An outshut adjoins a right-angled 18th-century extension to the right, made from similar materials but weatherboarded over a timber frame for the porch and part of the wall, and has a three-bay plan. The barn's interior includes queen-post roofs with clasped purlins and braced posts, along with 20th-century purlins and a truss in the left section of the 18th-century barn.

The shelter sheds to the right of the 17th-century house are constructed from similar materials and are in an L-plan configuration, featuring queen-post trusses that have been remodelled in the 20th century.
