A Landmark Home of Distinction – Georgian Elegance Meets Country Luxury
With roots dating back to the early 19th Century, and enriched by Victorian and later additions, the home is steeped in history and architectural character — a true English country retreat of rare distinction.

From the moment you arrive via the sweeping gravel driveway, passing the central ornamental fountain and manicured lawns, you’re greeted by an imposing façade that hints at the grandeur within. Step inside and the tone is set in the grand reception hall, where an impressive oak staircase rises beneath high ceilings adorned with intricate cornicing. Across the home, traditional oak flooring and custom-crafted joinery echo the home’s heritage, while open fireplaces invite relaxed gatherings and evenings in.

The heart of the home lies in its beautifully appointed farmhouse kitchen, a classic space complete with a gas Aga and bespoke cabinetry — perfect for family life or entertaining in style. Many of the reception rooms and bedrooms feature handcrafted built-in furniture, blending functionality with craftsmanship throughout the home’s generous 6,800 sqft layout.

Downstairs, the lower ground floor is designed for leisure and indulgence, currently serving as a private suite that includes a snooker room — an ideal retreat for hosting or unwinding.

The detached garage block provides even more flexibility, with a fully self-contained apartment above. Whether for an au pair, guests, or multi-generational living, this space offers independence and comfort without compromise.

Step outside and immerse yourself in nature. The grounds are a tapestry of formal lawns, mature specimen trees, and serene terraces, with a large south-facing lawn enjoying long, sun-filled days. A paved patio and decked terrace offer the perfect setting for al fresco dining, while a picturesque fishing lake brings a magical touch of tranquillity — a rare and coveted feature.

Despite its countryside seclusion, the property enjoys exceptional connectivity. Nestled on the edge of the charming villages of Copthorne and Crawley Down, with easy access to open countryside, excellent local amenities, and highly regarded schools. For city professionals or jetsetters, London is within reach via nearby rail links (fast trains from Three Bridges or Gatwick in under 40 minutes), and Gatwick Airport is just 5 miles away.

This is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle. A place where history, elegance and modern-day luxury harmoniously combine in a setting that’s both peaceful and connected. A rare opportunity to own a piece of English heritage with the space and versatility to adapt to today’s way of life.
