Features and description
Long Copse House was built in 1938 in the “Art Deco” style. This spectacular house was fully modernised in 2014 to create a fabulous light and airy family home over two floors. On entering the house, one is greeted by a stunning double height reception hall with oak flooring and matching suspended staircase with glass balustrade.
From the hallway, doors lead through to all the main rooms making this a fabulous home to entertain and for everyday living. From the kitchen/breakfast room, Bi-fold doors open out to the rear sun terrace at one end, whilst at the other end there is a well fitted utility room, cloakroom, boot room, walk in larder and TV room/study. The sunken drawing room is a most elegant room featuring a raised fireplace and steps up to the library, which features extensive fitted bookcases. Completing the ground floor reception rooms, there is a large dining room that is accessed both from the breakfast area (through a pair of bookshelf secret doors) or from the main hall.
The house is heated by a fully automated wood pellet boiler and includes underfloor heating that runs through the main hall, kitchen, boot room, cloakroom, TV room/study and dining room. The house also benefits from a powerful internal vacuum system as well as ceiling speakers to the kitchen, dining room and main bedroom and bathroom.
The landing to the first floor enjoys a real sense of bright and airy space, which gives access to all the bedrooms. All bedrooms are double size with main bedroom taking centre stage with its spacious ensuite bath and shower room, laundry chute, separate dressing room and balcony.
The property is approached via a long, private tree lined track
driveway with delightful views, which opens out in front of the house with a large circular drive and parking for numerous cars. Sandstone steps lead you to the impressive double front doors standing under a columned portico. A gravel walkway leads around the property with an extensive paved sun terrace running across the rear elevation of the house. From the parking area there is a double garage and a useful outbuilding incorporating a wood store, boiler room with
a fully automated wood pellet boiler with five tonne store and
workshop. The gardens and grounds of Long Copse House
extend to 11.9 acres.
