South Wing and Attached East Wing, Potterton Hall

The South Wing and attached East Wing form part of Potterton Hall (see the West Wing listing for further context), and are now divided into two separate houses. These wings date to approximately 1800, with alterations made in the mid to late 19th century.

The South Wing is built of ashlar stone with a stone slate roof, while the East Wing is constructed of hammer-dressed stone, also with a stone slate roof, and incorporates a lean-to section covered with Welsh blue slate. The South Wing has a symmetrical facade of seven bays with a two-storey appearance to the front and three storeys to the rear. A plinth runs along the base, and the central three bays project slightly, topped by a pedimented gable. A Tuscan porch features an entablature, casement-moulded cornice, and blocking course, with a double door and glazed fanlight above. Above the door is a window with an architrave. Other ground-floor bays have flat-arched windows with projecting sills and casement-moulded cornices, while the first-floor windows have 12-pane sashes with thin meeting rails. A glazed oeil-de-boeuf (circular window) is set into the gable tympanum. The roof is hipped and has four stacks on the rear pitch, finished with a casement-moulded eaves cornice and ashlar blocking course.

The East Wing is attached to the right and set back. Its rear face is visible and incorporates an outshut with four ground-floor sash windows under deep monolithic lintels, and two first-floor windows. A lean-to roof covers this section. The main part of the East Wing has a blind bay to the right with a quoined angle and hipped roof, topped with two rendered brick stacks.

The rear of the East Wing features three bays: the first and third bays have sash windows with monolithic lintels above doorways with overlights; tripartite sashes are located on the first floor, and to the second floor of the central bay. The roofline was raised in the mid-19th century, with the earlier roofline still visible. The taller South Wing to the right has two bays of sash windows on each floor, and a narrow bay at the junction, with a doorway and window above. A central ridge stack is present. The left-hand return has a single bay of windows matching the front, and incorporates the return of the cornice and blocking course.

The interior of the South Wing includes a wide entrance hall with a tile floor, panelled dado, and doorways with eared architraves and elaborate overdoors featuring oval plaques with putti and carved swags. A richly-moulded cornice runs along the hall, with a coved ceiling supported by pilasters with intricately decorated capitals. A c.1975 open-well staircase is present. A large drawing room features deep skirtings, dado rail, picture rail, a decorative ceiling cornice, and a central boss. Original panelled doors, window shutters, and window bottoms display astragal mouldings. A fine white and Sienna marble fireplace with Ionic engaged columns, a fluted frieze with oval roundels, and a moulded cornice is likely from c.1740 and was originally in the square sitting room of the West Wing before it was repurposed around 1800. A well-proportioned dining room has doorways flanking an elaborate marble and carved wood fireplace, with large rectangular panels and panelled window surrounds. Bedrooms feature doorways with architraves and simple fireplaces.
