Description
Potters Cottage is a house dating from the early 17th century, which was remodeled in the 19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with plastered cob above and features a Bridgwater tile roof with gabled ends and a brick gable-end stack.
The building retains the high end of a three-room plan house, with the lower left end and cross-passage likely demolished during the 19th-century remodeling, resulting in a two-room plan cottage. The layout includes a large room on the left, which was formerly the hall and is heated by a gable-end stack, and a small unheated room on the right, which would have served as the inner room.
The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical two-window southeast front, featuring two windows on the ground floor and one on the first floor. The windows are small 19th-century two-light casements with glazing bars. There is a doorway on the left with a plank door and a canopy. A similar casement is found at the rear and on the southwest end, where there is a projecting semi-circular oven.
Inside, the cottage has deeply chamfered cross-beams and edge-beams with hollow step stops, along with unchamfered joists. There is a plank partition between the hall and the inner room, which has scratch moulding on the hall side. The large fireplace includes a brick oven and curing chamber, and there are plank doors. The roof features a jointed cruck truss with a collar, purlins, and a diagonally-set ridgepiece, along with later common rafters.
