'The Coppice' is one of South Downs Road's hidden gems - a beautiful period home that occupies a private plot extending to around 0.22 acres.

At ground floor, the living room (20'10 x 14'3) has patio doors opening directly to a delightful terrace with steps leading down to the south facing garden. The kitchen is beautifully appointed and fitted with an extensive range of base and eye level units with granite work surfaces. The kitchen is adjacent the dining room, creating a spacious open plan space that is very much the 'hub of the house'. A door from the kitchen leads to a sheltered courtyard garden area. There is also a seperate sitting room with recessed study area, a cloaks cupboard and wc.

At first floor, the principal bedroom has a south facing balcony that offers pleasing views over the woodland and gardens below. There are two further double bedrooms, as well as a wc with wash basin and a luxurious family bathroom. At second floor there is a fourth bedroom and a modern shower room.

At lower ground level there is a full floor of additional accommodation that includes a fifth bedroom, a cloaks/wc, a study/playroom and a laundry/utility room. There are stairs leading directly up to the inner courtyardand so the lower ground floor space could become a self contained unit.

The property is approached via a long private driveway from South Downs Road and is accessed via its own secure gates. There is a neatly laid driveway that provides off road parking and turning for several vehicles and leads to a brick built garage. There is a neatly landscaped garden with york stone paving and timber garden store.

To the rear of the property, the spectactular gardens measure approximatley 180 feet and are fringed by mature woodland to the side and rear boundaries. Both the main living room and principal bedroom offer pleasing views down the garden and it is easy to forget just how close to Hale Village the property is located when you take in the abundance of mature plants, bushes and trees that surround the property.
