Potterne Wick, Potterne

An outstanding country cottage dating back in part to 1850, beautifully extended in 2016 to create a spacious 5-bedroom family home in an enviable rural setting. Fabulous countryside and woodland walks are found right on the doorstep.

The current owners have done an incredible renovation in their 10 years at The Gables, transforming the original cottage into a light and elegant home, with an immaculately presented interior complemented by beautiful, landscaped gardens. A stunning bespoke kitchen with granite worktops features an island/breakfast bar with contrasting oak worktop, slate floor tiles and a 'Rangemaster' induction electric oven. A sizable utility is set off the kitchen with a downstairs cloakroom. A magnificent 21ft triple aspect sitting room has an inviting log burning stove set against a lovely exposed brick wall and oak flooring. From here a charming garden room links to the characterful family room with an Inglenook fireplace and additional log burner, plus a study ideal for anyone working from home.

Two separate staircases ascend to the first floor where there are five bedrooms, all with wonderful countryside views. In addition to the refitted family bathroom there are also stylish en suites to both the principal triple aspect bedroom and a guest bedroom.

Outside, 5 bar gates open onto a gravelled driveway providing ample off road parking and a detached double garage with a useful workshop to the rear (all with light and power). The well-maintained gardens enjoy an excellent amount of privacy and from the extended sun terrace there are again fine vistas to enjoy. In addition to the garden is an enclosed paddock with planning for an outdoor school, plus an adjacent hay barn and 2 stables.

Situation - This wonderfully appointed detached home is set in an enviable and completely rural position with far reaching views over the surrounding farmlands.
