II

Cottage with pottery workshop attached left. Early C19 with C20 rear wing. Cottage and workshop have whitewashed roughcast cob walls. Later extension in cavity wall brick. Slate roofs with brick stack to right gable. House 2 storeys, 2 window range. Workshop single storey, single bay. 2-light timber casements with full glazing bars to the ground floor and horizontal glazing bars above. House has central part glazed panelled door in C20 glazed, gabled timber porch. Workshop has part glazed plank door. Although not of great architectural interest the cottage and workshop together constitute the principal building of one of the last remaining intact Verwood pottery works. They are thus of considerable archaeological importance. The remainder of the site which includes kiln mould and outbuildings has been scheduled as an ancient monument.
