Description

Pound Cottage and Dunromin are two attached houses located in Duntisbourne Abbots, originally built as two separate houses in the early 17th century, with an 18th-century addition and a pair of houses added around 1880. The buildings are constructed of random rubble limestone with ashlar dressings on Pound Cottage. They feature rock-faced chimneys at the west end and an ashlar chimney with a moulded cap at the east, all under stone-slate roofs.

Pound Cottage is a two-storey structure with two rooms and a cross-passage, a gable end fireplace, and a spiral staircase. The house has a varied arrangement of windows, including a two-light recessed cavetto mullioned window with a hoodmould to the left of a now-blocked doorway that has a chamfered surround and a Tudor arch. The upper floor has two timber casements with timber lintels. The north gable end shows evidence of a raised roof and features a projecting round-ended bread oven and a single-light chamfered stair window. The rear fenestration is mainly from the 19th century, consisting of timber casements with timber lintels, and includes a small single-light window with a recessed chamfered surround and hoodmould to the left of the doorway.

Dunromin has ground floor fenestration only, with each house featuring a segmental arched doorway and window, a plank door, and small-paned casements. The gable end facing the road has an attic timber casement with a timber lintel and an inserted timber casement at ground level with a deep stone lintel. Both houses retain their gable end spiral staircases.
