About this property

This stunning 5 bedroom house in Kingswood on a 0.34 acre plot measures over 4800sq feet of spacious accommodation with plenty of period features including high ceilings, sash windows and wooden floors. It has several reception rooms, a pretty garden with a studio, plenty of parking and a garage.

Set on the edge of the sought-after village of Kingswood, this substantial early Victorian country residence occupies a wonderfully peaceful semi-rural position, surrounded by open countryside and mature gardens. Retaining a wealth of original architectural detail, the house combines period elegance with the comforts of modern family living. High ceilings, intricate cornicing, handsome fireplaces and areas of historic flintwork provide a strong sense of provenance, while the former forge and original well offer a particularly distinctive connection to the property's past. Arranged over three floors and extending to almost 5000sq feet, the accommodation is both generous and versatile. There are five well proportioned double bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite with a beautifully appointed period-style ensuite bathroom. Four reception rooms provide a choice of spaces for both formal entertaining and relaxed family life, while the substantial kitchen/breakfast room forms a natural heart to the home, with extensive cabinetry and plenty of space for dining. A stylish family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. A particular feature of the property is the detached former forge, which has been meticulously refurbished to create an approximately 300sq feet garden studio. Rich in character and entirely versatile, it would make an excellent short term lodge, a home office or a gym. Further practical accommodation includes an extensive cellar and double garage. The property is approached via a long shared driveway, reflecting its historic position on the site of the former Copt Hill Farm.

Outside
Sitting on a plot measuring over a third of an acre, the gardens are a notable attraction extending around the house with mature planting, established trees and far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. There is a sense of privacy and tranquillity throughout, providing an idyllic setting for outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the changing seasons. In addition to parking on the driveway, there's garaging for a couple of cars.

Situation
The house is located halfway up Copt Hill Lane which runs off Alcocks Lane at the western side of Kingswood. Kingswood is a prestigious residential location offering easy access to the M25 and Gatwick Airport with a village centre containing local shops, restaurants and the popular pub/restaurant Kingswood Arms. The railway station is in easy reach and serves London in around 50 minutes. There is a varied choice of schooling locally and in the surrounding area including Chinthurst in Tadworth, City of London Freemans and Downsend in Ashtead, and Epsom College to name but a few. Consisting mainly of private, winding roads, Kingswood has a tennis club, two golf courses and offers access to various local countryside walks. Larger supermarkets and other shopping facilities are available in nearby Burgh Heath and Banstead.
