The main house sits atop the land with views over the valley beyond. Surrounded by gardens, a pond and terraces the weathered wood house has a cottage feel yet offers significant living space. The large entrance hall leads to the living space and guest suite.
The living space includes a gorgeous triple aspect sitting room with open fire, balcony overlooking the pond and access to the side terrace and decking beyond. Alongside the sitting room is a large dining room comfortably seating 14. Together with the sitting room, this area creates an ideal conjoined entertaining space.
The kitchen/living room serves as the 'day room' in the house. The kitchen features an island, an Aga and a glass fronted nook, ideal as a play area, office or craft room. The kitchen opens onto the living space with a feature fireplace, doors onto the side terrace and access to the large staff kitchen and utility room, ideal for catered entertaining.
Over to the ground floor guest wing, this space would work perfectly as an annexe, teenager's suite or even as the main suite if desired.
The beautiful main bedroom (bed 4 on the floorplan) is exceptionally large with a vaulted ceiling and doors opening onto the secret garden. This room has a quiet feel away from the hubbub of the living area. In addition, this suite has two further bedrooms and two bathrooms. These bedrooms could easily be repurposed to create an independent annexe.
Alongside the guest suite there's a luxurious cinema with seating for 14 in tiered velvet chairs. The cinema provides the perfect space for a special night in at home for family and guests.
Outside there is parking for up to 6 cars, a large terrace leading to the entrance hall, decking with a bar area overlooking the natural pond and a smaller decked area with a hot tub and views over the valley. Together these offer significant space for entertaining and relaxing, making the most of the fabulous setting and clean country air.

The estate is gated with a tarmac driveway leading from a quiet, country lane.
The Copse has a House Manager who helps maintain the estate and may be available to work for the new owners should they wish.
