Devizes Road, Potterne, Wiltshire, SN10

A superbly refurbished Grade II Listed late Regency country house overlooking beautifully planted formal gardens and parkland. Stylish secondary accommodation in the two bedroom coach house plus extensive outbuildings. In all, circa eight acres.

AGENTS NOTE: The property comes with 8 acres and not 46 - this is an upload issue which we are looking into. The extra 38 Acres is available by separate negotiation.

This lovely late Regency house dates back to 1828 and was further extended in the 1870's. Constructed from local Bath stone, it has Strawberry Gothic mullion windows and is beautifully presented, both inside and out. Electric gates open to the sweeping driveway at this very private property.

The current owners have refurbished the house to a very high standard, incorporating modern day living with all the myriad period features. Black granite worktops, an electric double AGA and built in sound system rub shoulders in the kitchen with stone mullion windows and a row of servant's bells. The black and red quarrry tiled floor extends into the well appointed scullery / laundry and on to the rear hall, with back stairs, a green baize door, a large walk in pantry and cellar. Beyond this is a pretty inner courtyard from which a door opens to the super games room, an ideal space for children or a gym.
There are large and elegant drawing and dining rooms, a sitting room, study, smart entrance hall and, upstairs, large bedrooms and bathrooms.

The Coach House

The Coach House has been refurbished to a similarly high standard to provide self contained secondary accommodation including two double bedrooms, a pretty sitting room and spacious kitchen / dining room. The cobbled yard to the front leads to a brick built laundry and workshop and the former stables still house the original stalls with, to the side a sturdy log store and generator room.

Gardens and Grounds

Lawns stretch out to the south of the property with views over a haha to the paddocks beyond. There is an enchanting box parterre filled with scented roses with a yew tree hedge along one side and a mellow brick wall along another with a dining terrace to one end. Beyond this is the produce garden with raised beds, a brick bothy and two smart glass houses. There are other timber stables, sheds and stores around the grounds. In all the gardens are approx 8 acres.
