Bruin House is a picture-perfect stone built, Grade II listed, 18th century, part thatched, cottage and former post office dating from the early 1700's and located in sought after Potterspury village. This beautiful, deceptively spacious, period family home has been much loved and improved over the years and retains many superb original features throughout. The house is steeped with charm and character yet very comfortable with modern comforts and deceptively spacious rooms ideal for entertaining, it has also been recently professionally re-thatched.

The charm of this beautiful home literally starts at the oak front door, on entering you are greeted by a wide and inviting central hallway with a stone flagged floor, beams and an oak staircase, there is also a handy guest cloakroom. On the left is the first of two impressive reception rooms, this bright dining room is a lovely size for family entertaining, it has a window to the front overlooking the terrace and garden, a polished wood floor and a period style fireplace. Tucked away in the corner of the room is a utility room. From the dining room a door leads through to the main reception room which has a box bay window to the front again overlooking the terrace and garden, an ornate marble fireplace with bespoke fitted bookcases and cupboards on either side and a polished wood floor.

On the right of the hallway and to the front of the house is a spacious study. The heart of this home has to the superb open plan kitchen/family/breakfast room which has a wonderful traditional country feel with a range of bespoke units with solid oak work surfaces, a central island and plenty of space for a family breakfast table. This superb room has masses of period features with original beams, a terracotta tiled floor and an impressive original inglenook fireplace that now houses an Aga plus also a separate electric Aga, there is a further fireplace at the dining end of the room. Adjacent is a separate prep kitchen with plenty of extra cupboards and storage and with access to the front garden.

On the first floor is a spectacular landing with exposed beams, exposed brick wall, linen cupboard and a second staircase leading down to the family kitchen. The main bedroom suite is on the left and at the far end of the house, it is a really good size with window to the front and feature corner fireplace, there is a dressing area with a range of fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite shower room with under floor heating. There are a further two double bedrooms at this end, one overlooks the front garden and the second is a lovely bright guest room. On the right of the central landing and in the older part of the house are are a further two double bedrooms, these rooms have masses of period features and character. The larger double bedroom has a superb period fireplace, oak floorboards and windows to the front with a window seat and to the rear, there is also an en suite bathroom. The second bedroom is another good size double with window to the rear overlooking the garden The main family bathroom has a corner bath and a shower cubicle.

Outside the property, double gates open onto a vast gravelled driveway with parking for at least 10 vehicles, the garden is walled with rambling roses, wisteria and flowering shrubs, there is a large paved sun terrace ideal for outside dining and south west facing so catches the sun all day. Attached to the main house is a former stone barn with full height double doors, it is now used as a double garage with a mezzanine floor above offering substantial storage. There is a further oak framed three car space carport with a garden storage room. To the rear of the house and driveway is a delightful walled garden, completely private and again another sun trap, it has a large lawn with mature fruit trees, there is an oak framed home studio/garden room with two sets of glazed doors, this would make a perfect home office/gym or hobbies room.
