Pond Head Farmhouse And Attached Barns To East And West

Pond Head Farmhouse and the attached barns to the east and west date from the mid-18th century. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed rubble sandstone at the rear and rendered brick at the front, while the barns are made of rubble, with one featuring brick panels, all topped with pantile roofs. The farmhouse is two storeys high with a loft and consists of three bays. The left barn is also two storeys and has three bays.

On the south (front) elevation of the house, there is a central door with leaves below a three-pane fanlight, which has no visible surround but features projecting imposts and a keystone. The ground floor has four-pane sash windows, while the first floor has smaller side-sliding sash windows. The eaves are tabled, and there are shaped kneelers and ashlar coping. The roof has three roof lights and brick end stacks.

The left barn is made of rubble and has a central board door and two windows on the first floor, with coping on the left side. The right barn is also rubble, featuring a central third that has a lightly projecting brick panel with a blocked segmental-arched barn opening. It includes an eaves band, shaped kneeler, ashlar coping, and a white brick end stack on the right.

At the rear of the house, there is a central single-storey late-19th century wing that is not of special interest. The windows here have dressed stone surrounds with keyed lintels. The rear of the right barn matches the front with a brick panel and a segmental-arched opening. The rear of the left barn has doorways with dressed stone quoined keyed surrounds at the center of the ground floor and the top left of the first floor, the latter accessible by external stone steps. There are two windows on each floor and an eaves band. The left return of the left barn features a brick gable above the rubble wall, and the left return of the house has a side-sliding window on the left.
