History
We would like to take the opportunity to furnish you with more information on this homes past. As with anything steeped in history, much of this is know but some is assumed.

Known historically as Potters Lane Cottage and now 22 Potters Lane, Polesworth, occupies a special place in the village's heritage. Recognised within the adopted Polesworth Neighbourhood Plan as an Asset of Local Historic Value, the property is believed to date from the mid to late 17th century, with characteristic narrow handmade bricks that are consistent with buildings of that era. It is thought that elements of an even earlier structure may be incorporated within the fabric of the building, adding further intrigue and historic significance to this unique residence. The property's long and fascinating history is reflected in its appearance on the 1850 Tithe Apportionment Map, confirming its presence within the village for at least 175 years. Historical research also suggests a possible connection to the 1642 Hearth Tax records, potentially linking the site to a substantial building that stood during the reign of Charles I, immediately prior to the English Civil War.

Although not nationally listed, 22 Potters Lane is recognised locally for its architectural character and historic importance, offering prospective purchasers a rare opportunity to own a home with centuries of history, charm and provenance that sets it apart from more conventional properties.
