Spacious village estate with separate cottage and studio income potential.
Grade II listed family house dating from 1841 (listed status may restrict works)
Mount View is a substantial Grade II listed family house dating from 1841, set on a very large, private plot on the edge of Potterne. The main house offers generous rooms with high ceilings, original character, and flexible living space across multiple floors — an impressive principal bedroom, four further bedrooms and a mix of reception rooms create straightforward family circulation. The attached Mount View Cottage and separate two‑storey studio increase versatility: they could provide long‑term guests, multi‑generational living or generate rental income.
The house combines traditional features with practical family spaces: an impressive kitchen with island and quarry tiles, a woodburning stove in the family room, formal dining and sitting rooms with open fires, and a useful cellar for storage. The south‑facing garden, sheltered courtyard terrace and summerhouse offer private outdoor entertaining and productive vegetable beds. Off‑street parking is provided to the rear.
Notable constraints are factual and important. The property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate planning and maintenance. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is above average. Heating is split across systems (house oil, cottage LPG, studio electric), which could increase running and servicing complexity. Planning permission exists to replace the conservatory with an oak‑framed garden room, but other changes will be subject to listed‑building consent.
For families seeking spacious period accommodation in a quiet, affluent village with excellent mobile signal and low crime, Mount View offers a rare mix of character, separate ancillary accommodation and a private large plot. Buyers should budget for listed‑building maintenance and consider broadband upgrades when assessing this home’s long‑term running costs.
