It is situated within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, approximately 1 mile northwest from the charming Saxon town of Bradford-on-Avon. Here you can find a range of amenities including shopping facilities, restaurants, cafes, public houses and 3 schools. The nearby city of Bath is a World Heritage Site famed for its Georgian architecture and Roman history, which enjoys a wealth of cultural, business and recreational facilities along with superb schools in both the state and private sectors plus two universities. Bath is a cultural hub in the region and boasts a number of renowned venues including the Theatre Royal and the Assembly Rooms among others. The surrounding area is well known for the quality of its schooling, both in the private and state sector including St Laurence School, Prior Park, Monkton Combe, King Edwards, The Royal High School for Girls and Kingswood in Bath. Further afield are Downside, Marlborough, Millfield and St Mary’s Calne. There are excellent sporting opportunities nearby including rugby clubs at Bath, Bristol and Gloucester; county cricket; horse racing at Bath, Wincanton, Salisbury and Chepstow. Local golf courses include Cumberwell Park, Kingsdown and Bowood. Communication links are excellent with a mainline railway to London Paddington from Chippenham, Bath and Bristol Temple Meads. There is easy access to the M4 motorway at Junction 18 for the Midlands, Southwest, London and Southeast. Bristol Airport lies 27 miles to the west, offering domestic and international flights. Potticks 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.
