Description
Pool Farmhouse is a two-storey building constructed from local limestone with sandstone dressings, now whitewashed, and topped with a straw thatched roof. It features four bays and a central entrance that is accessed through a modern gabled porch. The entrance includes a stone Tudor arched doorway with hour-glass chamfer stops and a moulded label with down-turned ends. Both floors have paned timber windows dating from around 1900.
At the rear, a 1997 extension has replaced the dairy, and there is a flat-roofed extension added behind the 19th-century kitchen at the northern end. A small single light 17th-century stone window provides light to the original stair above the flat roof.
Inside, the building has four roof trusses, with the principals rising from within the walls, supporting two tiers of trenched purlins, and possibly a third tier above the ceiling.
