Potter Farmhouse

Potter Farmhouse is a mid-17th century farmhouse, later used as a house. It was altered in the 18th century, notably with a brick front. The ground floor is of painted flint, the upper floors of painted brick, and the roof is covered in old plain tiles. Brick stacks are located at the rear. The building has a three-unit plan and a two-storey, four-window front. A 20th-century six-panel door with an overlight and flat hood on brackets is positioned to the left of the centre. All windows are 16-pane unhorned sashes with segmental brick heads. A moulded brick band runs between the ground and first floors. The left return displays brickwork on the ground floor, and timber framing with brick infill to the first floor and attic. Two 16-pane horned sashes are on the ground floor. A 20th-century round-topped window is centrally located on the first floor, alongside a 16-pane unhorned sash in the attic gable-end. A 20th-century straight flight staircase connects the ground and first floors, with a wood winder staircase leading to the attic. The roof is constructed with a Double Queen-post design and features extensive original beams internally. Spine beams on both the ground and first floors are characterised by ogee end stops.
