Pott Lords Farmhouse

Pott Lords Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from 1693, indicated by a date stone reading "I + H". It is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings and has a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar.

The north front features a projecting wing on the left, distinguished by ashlar quoins and a cyma-moulded string course. This wing contains three-light cellar windows with chamfered mullions, and similar ground and first-floor windows. The right-hand reveal of this wing has two-light ground and first-floor windows. A recessed range to the right has a three-light ground-floor window and a two-light first-floor window. A 19th-century outshut is attached to the right. The left-hand reveal continues the cyma-moulded string course from the north front and has ashlar quoins to the corners. A two-light ground-floor stone mullioned window sits alongside a matching first-floor window with diamond-patterned leaded lights.

The rear elevation presents a three-light, 19th-century wooden-framed window on the right, alongside a four-light stone-surrounded chamfered mullioned window to the left. Above this, a three-light 19th-century wooden-framed window sits next to a three-light chamfered mullion window. Two single-light attic windows are located on the left and right, with the left window featuring leaded diamond-patterned lattice panes, and the right window being blocked. A rectangular date stone set between these windows includes a coat of arms at its upper portion and initials and the date below.

Inside, the parlour features stop-chamfered ceiling beams. The ground floor has three eight-panelled doors with run-through mouldings to the rails. The staircase is characterised by central moulded ribs to the newels, a moulded handrail, and decoratively cut splat balusters.

Historically, the farmhouse served as a shooting lodge for the Downes family of Shrigley Hall, Pott Shrigley.
