Copthorne Common, Copthorne, RH10

Copthorne Manor is a very grand and beautifully designed modern Manor House occupying a peaceful rural setting surrounded by Copthorne Common and adjoining Copthorne golf course.

Built around 10 years ago to the most exacting standards, the property is approached over the common via a long track and pillared, gated entrance. A long Cotswold stone gravel driveway leads to a large, gravelled courtyard in front of the house, with feature water fountain and a triple bay garage block with a multi-functional room above.

The accommodation spans over three floors with an impressive, vaulted and elegant reception hall with a central dividing staircase, which appears to float and leads up to the galleried landings. The sitting room on one side of the hallway enjoys a triple aspect with doors onto the garden, a large brick fireplace with wood burning stove and custom-made oak TV cabinets. The study is fitted with similar cabinets and panelling and overlooks the front courtyard. The ground floor continues to impress with a family room, a snug and an incredible double height glazed circular dining room, overlooking the gardens, pond and golf course beyond. The kitchen/living room is the heart of the house, and is very much the hub of the house, fitted with bespoke oak cabinets, granite worktops, a range of integrated appliances, including a modern electric Aga with Aga companion. In addition, there is a utility room on the ground floor and a brilliantly clever idea of a first-floor laundry room. Most of the ground floor is tiled with underfloor heating.

On the first floor there are five impressive bedroom suites all leading off the galleried landings. The principal suite comprises a substantial bedroom with fitted wardrobes, sitting area with wood burning stove and doors out to a large balcony. A private staircase from the master suite leads back down to the ground floor where there is a stunning ensuite bathroom. The four additional bedroom suites are fitted with luxurious ensuite bathrooms. The second floor has a sixth suite, one other bedroom and a family bathroom and storeroom.

OUTSIDE
The house is private and secluded set on the southern side of Copthorne golf course and is approached over the common via a track which serves a small handful of neighbouring properties.

The gardens and grounds are mainly laid to lawn with terraces enjoying a wonderful peaceful outlook and towards the northeastern end of the garden is a pond, all fully enclosed by mature hedging and trees. The owners believe they have commoner’s rights to give them direct access onto the golf course, if required.

Copthorne Manor offers a rare opportunity to purchase a beautiful bespoke family house, finished to an exacting standard and located within the grounds of the prestigious Copthorne golf course with views over the 11th fairway.
