Description
Pott Hall is a farmhouse with origins likely dating back to the late 16th century, a core from the late 17th century, and a remodelling from the mid-18th century, possibly around 1743. The building features wings added in the 1860s and 1878. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble and has a Kerridge stone-slate roof with large chimney stacks at the right gable end and the centre of the house. Originally, it was an L-shaped, timber-framed structure, but the walls have been replaced with stone, followed by 18th-century infill and an outshut. To the left, there are two parallel 19th-century wings.
The facade is three storeys high and has three bays, with an 18th-century two-bay infill to the left and an added upper storey. The right end bay features two-storey 17th-century masonry with paired wooden splayed mullion and transomed windows on the ground floor. The left end bay has similar paired casements, while the upper storeys contain single two-light casements with glazing bars. The central doorcase is framed by a wooden architrave with ears, surrounding a plain rectangular fanlight and a six-panelled door.
Inside, the timber small-framing of the rear wall and a close-studded partition from the original house can be seen in the stairwell. A massive bevelled sandstone fireplace is located in the centre of the house. The rooms in the core feature chamfered beams with tongue stops, and there are mid-18th-century cast-iron basket grates in the main rooms, one of which has a "Delft" tile surround. Upstairs, there is a crude stone fire surround with Ionic pilasters. A roof tie beam bears the graffito "RBN 43 M," which may indicate the date of the 18th-century alterations.
