Pontricket Farmhouse

Pontricket Farmhouse is a long, single-storey range with a two-storey cross-wing to the left. The building is constructed of whitewashed rubble stone with slate roofs, and has large plinth stones. A massive, stepped projecting stack is prominent on the front (east) of the cross-wing, while the main range features a tall lateral stone stack to the left of the centre, and a brick ridge stack further to the right. A small lean-to porch is situated at the left end of the main range, with an opening to the north side and a small window to the front. A panelled door with a small light sits within the porch. A butt joint is visible to the right of the lateral stack, marking the later addition of one and a half bays. Two small, two-light wooden casement windows with timber lintels are positioned on either side of the stack. A 20th-century boarded door is located far to the right. The attic has two gabled dormer windows flanking the lateral stack, fitted with 20th-century small-pane glazing.

The south side of the cross-wing has a 20th-century wooden window on the ground floor, and two windows on the upper storey; that to the left is infilled, while the one to the right has 20th-century glazing. The west end of the cross-wing was rebuilt in the mid-20th century, featuring large-pane windows on each storey, along with a datestone to the gable. The west (rear) side of the main range has a boarded door with a small light to the right of the centre, and two two-light wooden casement windows to its left, one with small panes. A small, splayed light is located immediately to the right of the doorway, and a further two-light wooden casement is positioned to the right, with possible butt joints suggesting an earlier entrance, indicating a possible cross-passage arrangement. A gabled dormer window is visible in the attic above the door. The north end of the house is built into the hillside; the gable has a planked door leading into a granary.

The main range consists of three units: an entrance room to the left, a kitchen in the centre, and a store-room to the right. The bay divisions of the cruck-framed hall-house were originally positioned approximately half a unit apart. In the entrance room, to the right of the doorway, is the base of one of the crucks. The ceiling has been altered, with a spine beam and rough joists. Opposite the entrance is a cloakroom, in front of which is a small enclosure with a possible bench or the base of an earlier staircase. To the right of the entrance room is an inserted fireplace, with a lateral chimney, a bakeoven facing south and aligned with the partition to the kitchen. The kitchen ceiling has rough joists. The inserted fireplace in the southeast corner contains a Rayburn; its north side is built against the remains of a cruck-framed partition, which has box-panels under the cruck blade. This was likely the original north end wall of the hall-house, and corresponds with a butt joint on the external wall. A niche is situated in the wall half a bay to the north of the cruck. Beyond the niche is a store-room under a granary, featuring plain beams and joists.

Turning left from the front entrance leads to the 17th-century cross-wing, which features two large chamfered spine-beams with ogee stops, and stop-chamfered joists. A large stone fireplace with a timber lintel is located at the east end. To the northwest is a doorway leading to the staircase, which rises above the cloakroom and is not in its original position.
