6 bedroom house

Potticks House was built in the late 18th century by Samuel Rayner and is constructed of traditional Bath stone under a Welsh slate roof. The stunning façade has all the hallmarks of Georgian elegance, with symmetrical lines and a patina of lime render. The proportions and layout of the house are fine examples of its era, with high ceilings, generous entertaining areas and grand features.

The presentation of the house is impeccable, having undergone extensive refurbishment throughout. Immense care has been taken to restore the house to an exacting modern standard, whilst being sympathetic to the historic features. The entrance hall creates a wonderful sense of arrival and sets the tone for the rest of the house. The dining room and study are both excellent well-proportioned rooms, with a wood burner and open fire. The drawing room is particularly impressive with two large windows and French doors leading directly into the terraced garden area. This is an ideal room for entertaining with an imposing Bath stone fireplace and wood burner, generous sitting area, bespoke joinery and classical features including original cornicing and dado rails.

It's a house that is blessed by an abundance of natural light throughout, especially in the fabulous kitchen extension. The Neptune kitchen comprises striking worktops, ample storage, range cooker and Egyptian limestone floor with underfloor heating. The main kitchen area leads to the fantastic new conservatory extension, which seamlessly connects all the family accommodation on ground floor to create a wonderful sense of flow and space. This conservatory area can be used as a sitting and/or dining area with plantation shutters and blinds. There is a well-equipped walk-in pantry and an excellent utility room/boot room at the rear of the house.

On the first floor is a spectacular principal bedroom with dressing room and a luxurious ensuite bathroom, two bright and airy double bedrooms at the front of the house which share a shower room, a dual aspect playroom/home office with attractive garden views and WC. There are two further double bedrooms on the second floor which share a stunning Neptune family bathroom.

The immaculate gardens and grounds at Potticks House offer a wealth of mature trees and established herbaceous perennial borders which complement the house perfectly. To the south and east is a wonderful terrace, accessed from the garden/dining room and drawing room. There are traditional dry stone walls, a flag stone pathway and impeccable planting of roses, peonies and many other rare shrubs as well as large expanses of pristine lawns. In the spring there are carpets of daffodils, bluebells and other blooms in the front garden.

The kitchen garden is a cook's delight, with established raspberries, blackcurrants, gooseberries, redcurrants, rhubarb and a further orchard planted with apples, plums and pears as well as fig, quince and walnut trees. The sheltered pool area at the far end of the garden is south facing and an enchanting sunny spot. The inviting, large swimming pool is surrounded by Griselina Littoralis hedging and with a newly constructed summer house with sun deck. Beyond the orchard is a beautiful winding walk through the woodland and paddocks. The outbuildings include a garage, biomass boiler store, workshop, log store and tractor store. The land extends to about 10.5 acres in total.

It is situated within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, approximately 1 mile northwest from the charming Saxon town of Bradford-on-Avon.
