8 bedroom house

The property is a stunning Grade II Listed detached former farmhouse with extensive accommodation. Dating back to, we believe, the 16th century with later additions, the property has plenty of character with period features including leaded windows, exposed timbers and stone, and feature fireplaces. On the ground floor, the welcoming reception hall with terracotta flooring leads to the main reception rooms; a double aspect drawing room with ornate fireplace, formal dining room with exposed timbers and beams, and sitting room with large inglenook fireplace and stone flooring. The kitchen/breakfast room features bespoke wooden units, granite worktops, integrated hob and oven, triple Aga, and access to a separate walk-in larder. A family room with brick fireplace, two separate cloakrooms and a separate boiler room complete the ground floor accommodation.

Accessed by two separate turned staircases, the first floor features a spacious, double aspect principal bedroom with fitted storage and an en suite bathroom, a separate family bathroom and seven well-proportioned bedrooms (one with an en suite shower room).

The property is situated in a rural setting just outside the hamlet of Copsale. The market town of Horsham is just under 4 miles distant and offers a comprehensive range of facilities including John Lewis at Home, Swan Walk shopping centre, varied restaurant quarter, Horsham Park and Pavilions Leisure Centre, and The Capitol – a multi-purpose arts venue; as well as mainline train services to London Bridge and London Victoria (in about 50-55 minutes). Southwater Village is about 3.5 miles away and offers a selection of shops, three village pubs, two primary schools, a doctor’s surgery and church, as well as the popular Southwater Country Park.

The A24 provides easy access to London, Gatwick Airport, the south coast and M25 Motorway Network. There are also a number of excellent schools in the area including Christ’s Hospital, Millais School, Tanbridge House School, Farlington School and Cottesmore.

Approached via a long private driveway, which also leads to the equestrian facilities, the property is set in beautiful gardens and grounds of just under 4 acres. With areas of well-kept lawn, the garden and grounds feature a paved terrace overlooking the largest of the ponds, two further separate ponds, mature trees and established hedging, flowerbeds providing year round colour and interest, a pagoda-style summer house, and a tennis court. The property also benefits from a large timber framed stable block with eight stables and a tack room, tarmac courtyard and separate sand school.
