5 bed detached house for sale

Copperfields, Horsham, West Sussex. RH13

A beautifully refurbished five bedroom, five bathroom country home, occupying an exceptional plot of approximately one acre, set within the exclusive Copperfields development on the former Coolhurst Estate, to the south east of Horsham and bordering the southern edge of St. Leonard’s Forest. Built in 1996 by esteemed housebuilder Hill Reed Homes to an exacting standard, Copperfields comprises just ten individual homes, each sitting within generous grounds of around an acre. Only two properties of this particular design were constructed, "Sleepy Hollow" having one of the largest plots, and with just three resales having taken place since the development was built, this represents a genuine once-in-a-decade opportunity. The house comes to the market for the first time since it was built and has been subject to a comprehensive schedule of works in recent years, creating a superbly appointed modern home that is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. Positioned at the very end of this private development, the house enjoys a particularly peaceful setting and benefits from elevated and unspoilt southerly views across parkland, vineyard and a lake of the River Arun beyond. The ground floor accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall, a triple aspect sitting room with inglenook fireplace and French doors to the rear garden, a separate family room, a study overlooking the tree-lined frontage, a fabulously appointed kitchen which is open to a dining area with two sets of bifolding doors making it possible to open this space to the garden seamlessly. There is a separate utility room and a stylish downstairs shower room which complete the ground floor. On the first floor there is a bright galleried landing, a principal bedroom suite enjoying the far-reaching southerly views, with a walk-in dressing room and luxury ensuite shower room. There are two further guest bedrooms, each with ensuites. Two additional double bedrooms are served by a recently refitted family bathroom, and make up the first floor. Outside, the grounds are a standout feature of the property. The tree-lined driveway meanders through mature redwoods, rhododendrons and camellias, and opens to a private driveway which provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles and access to the detached triple garage. The gardens wrap around the house to give space at every border and enjoys an unspoilt, sunny southerly aspect to the rear, with a generous patio ideal for entertaining, areas laid to lawn, a timber summer house with decked seating, well-established rhododendrons, specimen trees, and a vegetable garden positioned just a few short steps from the kitchen. Despite its idyllic rural setting, the property is conveniently located just 1.5 miles from Horsham town centre, offering a rare combination of rural surroundings with excellent accessibility. Viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality of this exquisite Sussex home.
