House and pottery building. House, 2 storeys, has roughcast rendered thick walls of stone rubble with machine tile roof and brick centre ridge and off-ridge stacks. 2 window range of wide C20 casement windows either side of round-arched doorway with recessed part-glazed door. Pottery workshop of rendered stone and brick adjoins to right (S) with 2 window range to first floor; ground floor has centre door and workshop window to left, smaller boarded door with small adjacent light and a projecting wing with catslide roof to right. Workshop range facing river and former quay has a small-pane window in gable end left with large painted 'Pottery' sign below, another window with cambered head half concealed by outshuts and a lower long cross range with similar half concealed window extending to right; lean-tos at front.

Interior of pottery is a complex of showroom, workshops and office rooms on two storeys and attic. Main ground floor room, the showroom, has thin ceiling joists. Upstairs the brick beehive kiln with metal bands of about 1850 is visible; it is rare in being incorporated into a workshop and formerly projected above the roof. Formerly an adjacent attic provided a drying-room for pots prior to firing. Kiln was fired with coal and finished with wood to melt the lead glaze. House has central hall and rooms either side; to left a beam is papered over, to right beams are lightly chamfered and stopped.
