Steep Park House aka Potters Manor 2010.

A little background on the last owner.... Built in 1904,the last proper owner was a French born Spanish/English artist and orchid grower named James Francis Walford... apparently his wife, who we think features in many of the canvases left lying around, is still alive at 104 and lives in a nearby residential home.There was 12 bedrooms including staff quarters in the attic.. even now in it`s derelict state,this house still is incredibly impressive,and I hope it will be preserved...we visited summer 2010 and then again in 2012..footnote...It is now May 2015 and I understand the house is now up for sale at a cool £3.75 million and is now called Highwell House..footnote... in 2018 I also understand an actress now owns the fully renovated property although I will not add her name as I am sure she does not need any former explorers turning at the old Potters Manor!

This is called Steep Park House,a twelve bedroom Victorian residence
Once fabulous manicured gardens no doubt..
But this is no ordinary house ok..
This house is on the market for £2,000,000 in July 2010
Shall we go in then?
Looking back over the twelve acres..
This house looks like it has been abandoned for decades....
Fabulous lounge
On the face of it,it appears the owners just got up and left but no one does that...do they/
Its a veritable time capsual
The foot of the stairs
Wonderful light dome allowing natural light down onto the stairs
It actually contained curved flourescant bulbs to light it after dark
Moving round the downstairs rooms
One of the lounges
The tv room

Ornate looking ceiling
This room came off the last
The pottery shack
The kiln
Quaint little kitchen although not the main one
Living room..what a ceiling!
Another lounge
