Property description
Potters Lodge is a handsome property designed with traditional looks, stunning features and a excellently fitted modern interior. Recently completed, it is built of mellow limestone with a slate roof and perfectly mirrors the older village properties around it. Behind the traditional façade is a contemporary interior that combines classic character with stream-lined, modern style that creates a versatile home with light-filled rooms and many stunning features. High quality natural materials such as Travertine stone flooring and solid oak for the doors and staircase, have been used throughout, whilst double doors from the Hall into the main living areas give an easy flow to the ground floor that is ideally suited both to everyday life and entertaining. The interior is simply decorated to enhance features such as exposed timber trusses and vaulted ceilings. All the main living rooms have French doors opening to the outside, and the result is a spacious, airy home which easily blends interior and garden spaces. The entire property has been designed to exacting standards and benefits include programmable, zoned under-floor heating across the ground floor, a bespoke Rot Punkt Kitchen and contemporary bathrooms. Outside, the south-west facing terrace and garden border the open parkland of Elton Hall over which there are wide country views. With its wonderful situation, Potters Lodge is both stunning and practical and it makes an appealing village home in an excellent location.
