Passmore, A., 2019, Hannford Manor, Poundsgate, Devon Heritage Statement, 15, figs and plates (Report - Assessment). SDV365155.

A heritage statement was prepared in 2019 to support a Listed Building Consent application for alterations to the kitchen and adjacent porch at the Grade II Listed Hannaford Manor, Poundsgate. Hannaford Manor was constructed in 1904 in the Arts and Crafts style, set within contemporary landscaped grounds. The house was subdivided into two in the 1950s and has been altered since but maintains its earlier plan form and most of its original fixtures and fittings.
It has been assessed as a medium-high significance, primarily based on its architectural and historical values, and its setting. The house's architecture also contributes to its aesthetic and artistic value. The proposed scheme comprises minor alterations and retains all the architectural features that contribute towards the building's significance. See report for full details.

House constructed in 1904 for the Bolitho family, possibly designed by Edward L Lutyens. The house has a tudor design with a double-depth plan, an open hall and two storeys. It is built of granite rubble with a hipped slated roof ( List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest, Volume 1781, Notes: Teignbridge District).
The house is the possible site of a James Pulham and Son statue. The statue is of Old Father Time, is of terracotta and is stamped on the base. No details survive of which of the James Pulhams were responsible or when the work took place. The site is included in the national Pulham database (ID no. 250) and published in the subsequent gazetteer (citing Durability Guaranteed: Pulhamite Rockwork - Its Conservation and Repair, 2008, Camilla Beresford and David Mason, page 32).
