GV II
Probably house with cart shed, now house. c1700 with possibly
earlier range to east and later additions and alterations
including C20 porch. Timber-framing with painted brick nogging
and renewed tile roof. Regular small square panels of
timber-frame using small timbers (many reused), with angle
braces.
EXTERIOR: single-storey with attic, 4-window range with 2
attic dormers. Entrance to off-centre C20 porch has plank
door. 2- and 3-light mainly metal casement windows throughout,
some with lead cames. To right of porch is evidence of a
former cart opening to front and rear walls. 2 roof dormers
have metal casement windows with external latches.
INTERIOR: has extensive timber-framing to rear and partition
walls. Spine beam with chamfers and end stops. Some early
board doors. Inglenook fireplace to centre room has reused
beam (said to have replaced worn original beam) and pine
cupboards to either side.
The Wootton Wawen Report concluded that Pound Cottage had been
constructed for agricultural use due to broad and lofty
openings (now infilled) for hay wagons. However, extensive
interior framing and finished beams to ground-floor ceilings
suggest domestic use, if not in entirety at first, then
shortly afterwards.
Forms a group with The Bull's Head Inn, Alcester Road (qv) and
Hawthornes, Stratford Road (qv).
