GV II
Barn. Later C17. Timber framed on an ironstone plinth, clad in weatherboarding with a pegtiled roof which is gabled to the east and half-hipped to the west.
PLAN: Seven bays, aligned west to east, with cart entrance originally to third bay from the east and south aisle to western four bays.
EXTERIOR: The north side has double cart doors and some C20 glazed openings. The south side has had two C20 garage doors inserted into the eastern three bays.
INTERIOR: The wall frame has a midrail with vertical members to the lower part and patterns of curved tension braces and vertical members to the upper parts. The third bay from the east originally had a cart entrance with cart doors replaced in softwood. The upright posts are unjowled with slightly arched tension braces to the tiebeams, angled queenstruts and a butt purlin roof with diagonal wind braces and original rafters without ridgepiece. The south aisle has additional purlins. The central part of the barn has been partitioned with weatherboarding to the east and vertical boarding to the west.
HISTORY: The earliest part of Pound Farmhouse was built c1600 with a parlour wing added in 1687 (dated) and it is thought that the former granary was built at the same time as the new wing of the farmhouse. The barn appears to be contemporary with the later building phase. Sales Particulars of 1958 show that before that date Pound Farm was in the ownership of the Park Hatch Estate, owned by the Duke of Westminster.

A seven bay C17 timberframed barn with substantially intact frame forming part of a good farm group.
