Description
Pomice Cottage is a former farmhouse dating from the late 17th century. It features rubble stone walls and a thatched roof with stone gable copings. There are brick stacks at both the left and right gables. The building is two storeys high and has three windows, which are three-light stone mullions with ovolos, mostly fitted with 20th-century metal casements and lead lights. A continuous label runs over the ground floor windows, which is not stepped up. The front door, located just to the left of centre, has straight chamfered stone jambs and a very depressed-arch head. The plank door has been renewed in the 20th century.
