Potterdyke House

Potterdyke House comprises two houses, now offices, dating to the mid-17th century. It was refronted in the early 18th century, with early 19th-century additions and 19th and 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of brick with a stucco front, topped by hipped slate roofs and three side wall stacks. A plinth, first and second-floor bands, and a parapet run along the front. The windows are mainly 12-pane sashes.

The symmetrical front is two storeys high with attics, featuring a central block with five sashes. Above, there are five 6-pane sashes. A pedimented stone doorcase shelters a beaded 6-panel door and an overlight, flanked by two sashes on either side. To either side, ramped, coped wing-walls extend from the front of the older building, each with a single sash and a coped boundary wall with a square corner pier below. The longer right wall has a part-glazed panelled door in the return angle and a close-boarded door to the right, with a blank window beyond the wing-wall. To the left, behind the wing-wall, is a three-storey range with a single sash and two 6-pane sashes above. The left return has three segment-headed sashes on the upper floors, with the outer ones blank on the first floor and the left one blank on the second floor. A central 6-panel door with an overlight and a segment-headed sash are also on the left return. The right return features three segment-headed sashes, and a single-storey addition, with two triple sashes and a 9-pane sash to its right. The rear elevation includes a central two-storey bay with a sash and a French window with a fanlight below, accessed by a curved double stone stair. A parapeted canted bay window, with a first-floor band and modillion eaves, is to the left, containing three sashes on each floor. To the left of this, a two-storey range features a sash above and two sashes below, all segment-headed. An angled projection with a single plain sash is to the right, followed by a double-hipped range with a central small casement flanked by single, segment-headed sashes, the left one larger. Above, three smaller plain sashes are present, and below, three segment-headed sashes are found.

Internally, there is a mid-18th-century three-flight open-well oak stair with a ramped handrail and stick balusters. The ground floor features an oval conference room with an enriched cornice and a 6-panel door flanked by single round-headed niches at its inner end. A butt purlin cruck trussed roof with collars is also present.
