Pump Cottage

Pump Cottage is a small house dating from the mid to late 17th century, with 19th-century additions and a late 20th-century alteration. The building features rendered cob walls resting on a rubble base, topped by a corrugated asbestos roof that is gabled at the right end and hipped at the left end. There are two rubble stacks; one is axial and originally located at the left gable end, while the other projects from the right gable end and has an oven beside it, both of which are rendered.

The original layout consisted of two rooms, each heated by a gable end stack. The current entrance leads into the right-hand room, but a blocked doorway into the left-hand room indicates that it may have once functioned as two separate cottages. A 19th-century outshut has been added along the rear of the building, and another 19th-century outshut at the left gable end was raised to two storeys in the late 20th century. The original position of the staircase is unclear; it currently rises between the two rooms.

The house is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with three windows, featuring late 20th-century small-paned two-light casements. The central ground floor window was previously a doorway. To the right of the centre is an early 20th-century lean-to with a 20th-century plank door, and there is a 19th-century outshut along the rear wall.

Inside, the fireplace in the right-hand room has a chamfered wooden lintel with straight-cut stops, and there is an oven on the left side. The left-hand room contains insubstantial roughly chamfered wany cross beams.
