Pound Cottage Including Adjoining Linhay To North

Pound Cottage is a small farmhouse with an adjoining linhay, likely dating to the late 18th century. Constructed of granite rubble, the house has a roughcast front and right-hand gable end, and a thatched roof with gabled ends. The roof to the left slopes to a higher level over the original outbuilding, while the linhay at the far left end has a half-hipped corrugated iron roof. The house is a long range built down the slope of the land, comprising an original two-room plan. Both rooms originally had gable end chimney stacks without ovens. There are roughcast brick chimneystacks at the right-hand gable end of the house, and at the left-hand gable end, now acting as an axial stack.

The original house has a regular, three-window front, although it is not symmetrical. It contains circa early 20th-century two-light casement windows with glazing bars, with a similar but three-light window on the ground floor to the right. A plank door is located to the left of centre, fronted by a circa 20th-century rustic timber gabled porch with a slate roof. The contemporary outbuilding, originally likely stables, is to the left and now incorporated into the house, and features light casement windows with glazing bars and segmental red brick arches over both windows and a central doorway. At the rear of the house, one ground floor window opposite the front door may have been a passage doorway originally, and has a chamfered wooden lintel. A small window is to its left, with a larger window above. Only one further window exists at the rear, located in the former outbuilding.

The linhay, facing the field at the rear, has a blind rear wall facing the front, with a loft doorway in the gable end. On its front, facing the field, the ground floor is blocked between piers, with a weatherboarded tallet above.

Internally, the partition on the left side of the original lobby or passage has been removed, and the stairs are of circa 20th-century date. A small fireplace is present in the left-hand room, missing its grate. The larger fireplace in the right-hand room has an unchamfered wooden lintel, which appears to be a replacement. The roof space was not inspected, but the straight feet of the principal rafters are visible in the first floor rooms. This is an interesting small farmhouse with a contemporary stables and linhay, all forming one long range.
