Potash Farmhouse

Potash Farmhouse is a Grade II listed farmhouse built in two stages: during the mid to late 16th century and the early 17th century. The building has two storeys and features a three-cell lobby entrance plan that has been in place since the 17th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and roughcast exterior, topped with a thatched roof that includes 19th-century undulating bargeboards and fascia soffits. There is a central 17th-century chimney made of red brick. The windows are mainly 18th and 19th-century small-pane casements, and the entrance door is boarded and dates from the 19th century.

Internally, the farmhouse reveals unmoulded framing, with the 16th-century hall and service cells showcasing arch-windbraced studwork. The coupled-rafter roof over the service cell has been rebuilt and features clasped purlins from the 17th century. Originally, the 16th-century house likely had a two-cell plan with a timber-framed external chimney at the right end of the hall. Above both the hall and service rooms is a three-bay chamber supported by arch-braced tie-beams. To the right, there is a two-bay 17th-century parlour cross-wing, which includes on-edge floor joists and a windbraced butt-purlin roof.
