According to information supplied to the present owner the first written record of Gunnacott occurs as a payment to the crown by Richard Pote of Gunnacott in 1332. The present 'new' building seem to have been built between 1450 and 1550. It remained in the Pote family till 1691. Gunnacott farmhouse retains original stone mullioned windows, stacks, and roofing, but has been subject to modern alteration and additions, it now has colour washed external walls.
Gunnacott. Although not the sub manor of Clawton, is an important part of the parish as the house of the Pote family. The house has been altered in the course of years but still bears marks of the gran old residence.
A very old building with many examples of early architecture still stands in position.
