Copthill Lane, Kingswood

The Grey House is a substantial period home offering 4700 sq ft, bursting with character and set within grounds of 0.35 of an acre. The Grey House was the house on the hill back in its day in 1850 and it owned all the property surrounding it. The Forge was the original Blacksmith’s Forge with links to Hampton Court which has been thoughtfully re-furbished and the current owner has established a successful Airbnb business at The Forge. Internally The Forge is beautifully appointed with an en-suite bathroom, modern kitchen and bi-folding doors to the garden.

Entry into the main house is via steps to a welcoming reception hall with wooden flooring and ornate coving. There are two principal reception rooms on the raised ground floor with one arranged as an artist’s studio and the other a lovely sitting room with a window seat, generous space, large sash windows, period coving, period style radiators and an original fireplace. Completing the raised ground floor accommodation is a study, cloakroom, utility room and a lovely kitchen/breakfast room with a range of integrated appliances and a utility room. Another superb feature is the cellar, accessed from the understairs cupboard with a staircase leading down to a large cellar/wine store and additional storage space. Another staircase from the main hallway leads down to a lower ground floor games room which also connects to the cellar and wine store. There is a cloakroom off the games room, double doors outside and access to the double garage.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. The generous principal bedroom takes centre stage with a dressing area and a beautiful ensuite shower room. Stairs from the landing lead to the second floor with two double bedrooms, one with a range of built in wardrobes.

Externally the main garden is lawned with a shingled driveway, a courtyard garden to the front and rear and an attached double garage. An internal viewing is highly recommended.

This lovely family home is situated in the village of Kingswood which provides a comprehensive parade of local shops and restaurants, including a convenience store/post office, off licence, Waterhouse Cafe, travel agents, Coughlans bakery, hairdressers, beauticians and The Kingswood Arms public house. Locally there is a wide choice of state and independent schools.
