Potters Barn

Potters Barn is a gate-house with an attached coach-house and stables, originally built for a private estate in 1841. It now serves as a park-keeper's lodge and public toilets. The building is constructed from coursed squared red sandstone and features slate roofs in a Tudor style.

The structure consists of two ranges at right angles, connected by an archway. The gate-house, which faces the road, has a large porch supported by side buttresses, a stepped gable, and a prominent Tudor-arched coach entrance that is now blocked internally. Above the arch are two small shields, and there is a lancet-shaped niche in the gable. The rear of the main range features a similar but lower arch, flanked by two-light windows with chamfered flush mullions. The gable has copings with kneelers and a large skylight in the roof, which was lacking glazing at the time of inspection.

Linking the north-west corner of the gate-house with the south-east corner of the former coach-house and stable range is a short full-height screen wall that includes a large Tudor-arched opening. The coach-house and stable range is two storeys high and has three windows. It features a central Tudor-arched coach entrance, which is also blocked, along with a square-headed doorway and two-light mullioned windows on either side at ground level. There are three smaller two-light windows under the eaves, all with chamfered flush mullions. The gable copings have kneelers, and there is a ridge chimney. The interior was not inspected.
