Pottery Lane Inkpen, Hungerford, RG17

This truly exceptional home – unique in its setting and design – is a contemporary residence finished to the highest standards. Pottery House, from above, resembles a daring V, and is unlike any other home in the area, offering a highly individual, architecturally designed modern house set amongst some of Berkshire’s loveliest countryside. The 6373 sq ft residence nestles within a rolling green landscape, in grounds of circa half an acre, with views over the surrounding countryside comprising woodland, landscaped gardens and farmland beyond. Internally the house is a masterpiece in contemporary living, combining generous proportions and vast windows on the south-facing side to create a feeling of immense light and space. There are few windows to the front, making it feel wonderfully private. Pottery House was built in 2013 and has been updated regularly, to include the addition of solar panels, fitted wardrobes, an electric vehicle charger and CCTV; it has also been subject to a full internal redecoration, and is beautifully presented throughout.

Outside

Pottery House is tucked away towards the end of Pottery Lane, in a very private setting with a fully enclosed driveway to the front concealed by high electric gates. The setting is peaceful – with the views of the surrounding countryside providing a tranquil backdrop to the strikingly modern home. To the front, there is ample parking on the driveway and access to an internal garage, plus an electric vehicle charging point. The rear garden is south facing, benefitting from lots of natural light, with a lawn leading down to a stand of woodland at the far boundary. At the back of the house, a covered elevated terrace is the perfect setting for outdoor dining. The fields around Pottery Lane are part of a nature reserve and are known for their displays of wild crocuses.
