Borers Arms Road, Copthorne

Greenaway Residential Estate Agents Crawley are delighted to have been selected to market for sale this grand Georgian style residence set in a plot extending to approximately half an acre within the highly sought-after village of Copthorne in West Sussex.

Constructed in 1974, the property offers spacious and flexible accommodation with unique features such as a magnificent Inglenook fireplace in the living room, with a 10' exposed oak beam that reportedly originated from the drawbridge of Hever Castle. During the current owner’s tenure, they have made numerous improvements to the property, including a stunning refitted kitchen with a central island and two sets of bifolding doors leading to the extensively landscaped garden. The garden includes a large patio area and an outside kitchen, among other features.

As detailed in the accompanying floor plans, the ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance porch with a large cloaks cupboard, a hallway with stairs to the first-floor landing and cloakroom, a 14’6 x 25’2 double aspect living room with Inglenook fireplace, a study, a 13’1 x 24’9 kitchen/diner, a utility/breakfast room, and an integral double garage.

The first floor landing, which also provides access to the loft space (large and potentially convertible into accommodation STPP), leads to the main bedroom with an ensuite bathroom featuring a four-piece suite, including a shower cubicle and a jacuzzi bath. There are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The property had planning permission granted in 2020 for an extension over the existing garage to create an additional bedroom with ensuite and a nursery, along with a new porch to the front (reference DM/20/1678). Another planning application was approved in 2020 for the construction of a detached three-car garage in the grounds to the front of the property (reference DM/20/3265). Although both applications have now expired we see no reason why the applications could be remade successfully.

Outside, the rear garden has been beautifully landscaped and features a large patio adjacent to the property, providing ample space for alfresco dining and relaxation. The garden also boasts an outside kitchen with a pizza oven and barbecue area, space for a hot tub and for storage. Part of the patio is covered by a veranda, offering shade during the warmer months. The large lawn is flanked by mature shrub and tree borders, and pathways lead to the rear of the garden where there is a further seating area and an outbuilding providing two large storage rooms (one currently used as a home gymnasium and the other as a workshop) along with a wood store.

At the front, a driveway leads to remote-operated gates that open into a vast area of parking. There is also an area of lawn, all enclosed by wooden panelled fencing.

The property is beautifully presented throughout and must be viewed to appreciate not only the size and condition of the accommodation but also the plethora of potential on offer.

The village of Copthorne is located in the Mid-Sussex district of West Sussex. Nearby towns include Crawley to the southwest (3.5 miles) and East Grinstead to the east (5.5 miles). London Gatwick Airport is also close by. The village features a local parade of shops, a variety of public houses and eateries, plus well-respected schooling including Copthorne Preparatory School. There is also the St. John the Evangelist Church.
