Description

16 Copthorne Road is a stunning Arts and Crafts home, dating back to the late 1800s and is one of the original homes on the Road.

Combining traditional charm with modern living the property offers a wealth of period features throughout. The home includes a sophisticated extension built in 2011 and lends itself to make an independent annexe.

The reception hall with a feature window seat provides access to the principal reception rooms. The drawing room features an attractive limestone fireplace and deep bay window, adjacent is the library with a door out to the garden. There is a bright family room with double doors to the dining room; off the dining room is a cellar. At the heart of the home is a sleek, modern kitchen/breakfast room with a bespoke fitted kitchen with premium granite countertops and integrated Gaggenau and Neff appliances. The breakfast area is bathed in natural light and is enhanced by large windows that overlook the gardens and there is underfloor heating too. From the kitchen is an inner hall with an excellent range of built in cupboards and a generous utility room/plant room and fully tiled shower room. Through the inner hall are large picture windows that overlook the garden and this leads to a great cinema room with under floor heating and air conditioning. This area has a separate entrance and could be an ideal annexe or space for independent living.

A grand staircase with a picture window gives access to the principal bedroom with walk in dressing area and marble lined ensuite bathroom and fine views overlooking the valley to the front; there is air conditioning too. The guest bedroom has an en suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms on this floor and a generous family bathroom. At second floor there is an office with large walk in boarded attic space.
