Pot House Farm Cottages

Pot House Farm Cottages are two dwellings that were originally a single building, possibly dating back to the 16th century, with extensions and alterations from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The structure features a mix of gritstone, rubble, and coursed and squared stone, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The layout is irregular, consisting of a 1½ storey, 2-bay cruck-framed cottage that is attached at right angles to a 17th-century crosswing, which has been extended to form an L-shaped range.

The cruck-framed cottage has a door on the left side, positioned where a cross-passage would have been, and a 20th-century casement window to the right, with a dormer window above the door. It has a brick ridge stack and an end stack on the right. The crosswing is two storeys high, featuring two original 17th-century bays and a later altered bay. The 17th-century section has large quoins and retains several double-chamfered mullion windows on one side wall and the exposed gable, with wood casements. The lower gable window still has its original mullion. The exposed gable has simple kneelers and gable copings, while the crosswing has a corniced ashlar ridge stack and other later stacks.

A wing was added to the crosswing in the late 18th or early 19th century, which has a symmetrical gabled garden front. This front features quoins and two 6-pane sash windows on each floor, set in square-faced surrounds linked by lintel bands. It also has shaped kneelers, gable copings, and a corniced ashlar stack at the eaves.

Inside, the cruck cottage, now used as a store, retains oak floorboards and has two cruck pairs that are largely obscured, with single purlins. The 17th-century crosswing contains a good early 18th-century corbelled and corniced stone fireplace, which is currently covered with wallpaper.
