Hey guys,

Just a quick report as I'm pretty tired from taking soooo many photos today! I finally managed to get to the wonderful Potters Manor House after many months of wanting to and never being able to. The house is amazing, the weather was perfect and the day was .. interesting haha! The locals are .. also interesting and do go on a bit but are ok ..

"History - Potters Manor House was built in 1904 by the classical architect Hugh Jokin. It nestles well hidden near the village of Nevertell just off the A40999 in Hampnex. The last inhabitants were a family of artisans and potters and for some reason, that we will probably never know, left the house with all its contents including many paintings and full wardrobes of clothes."

The house contains many paintings and belongings and is a decaying museum of peoples lives and work .. I have found out a bit about the people who lived there but won't go into all that as it isn't overly interesting and .. well .. yeah!

On with the photos .. (tried to include some of the photos that don't usually get posted in reports)

The first glimpse ..

That is incredible! I think it's got a bit beyond the tin of plastic fix-it! Is there really a village called Nevertell? Wonderful.
 
Stunning location, one of the best manor houses around at the moment:mrgreen:
 
location

i would love to visit this location, just struggling to find its exact location, any help would be really appreciated:)
 
Not 100% sure on what happened to previous occupants I'm presuming that they passed away. I heard from a local that the current owner has got or is trying to get permission to demolish it .. which would be awful! But it is in a bad way and has suffered a small amount of fire damage as well .. :( I think they have had it authorised that they can build a more modern construction with swimming pool etc ..

And thanks Shucks for the comment :) Made my day lol
 
Beautiful. It's such a shame the owner wants it demolished, I'd have thought parts of it could be restored - it's lovely
 
That really is fantastic! What a find!
Sure, you can spend ages looking round empty places, admiring the natural decay, but when somewhere contains as much history as this, it's something special. :)

I agree it is something special! There is so much history there it is full of personal items ranging from clothing and books to paintings and bank slips!

It is a shame that they didn''t restore it and want to demolish it at some point to build some faceless mansion with a swimming pool!
