Abstract:		 Potash Farm lies at the northern edge of Benhall parish. During the 1847 tithe survey it formed a tenanted holding on the Benhall Lodge estate. No buildings on the site are listed but the rendered farmhouse may date from the 17th century or before. The agricultural buildings are all from the middle of the 19th century and are historically significant as they illustrate Victorian High Farming. The main barn is a timber-framed and weatherboarded threshing barn of three bays with a central entrance and a lean-to porch. It contains bolted knee-braces with nailed primary wall-braces and roof collars in contrast to the arch-braces and pegged joints associated with the first half of the 19th century, and while it may represent the barn of similar outline shown on the 1847 map it was probably built in the following decade. Its wall and roof framing survives largely intact, except for the covering. The milking parlour adjoining it was almost certainly built as a contemporary stable and retains a good ceiling, but in other respects has been much altered. The most unusual structure on the site is a detached single-storied granary. This diminutive building of circa 1860 rests on its original cast-iron 'mushrooms' and is a rare survival of a type that was never common in Suffolk (where granaries more typically lay above cart lodges). Despite their local historic significance, however, the various buildings on the site do not meet the strict English Heritage criteria for listing.
