Description
New Potash Cottages is a terrace of three cottages built around 1840. The cottages are two storeys high and each has two windows. They are constructed from gault brick, with red brick used for the return walls. The roof is covered with fish-scale slates and features axial gault brick chimneys that have four square flues linked by a square cap. The windows are two-light timber designs with rubbed brick flat arches, splayed reveals, and wrought iron small pane casements. The entrance doorways also have splayed reveals and are topped with limestone gabled canopies supported by knee brackets, although the doors themselves are 20th-century framed versions.
