Description
Copperwell is a detached house with red brick elevations beneath a plain tiled roof and features well-proportioned renovated accommodation extending to approximately 2,513 sq ft arranged over two principal floors. The current owner extended the house around 20 years ago to designs prepared by architects Cowper Griffith.
Of particular note is the large kitchen/dining room which features a shaker style kitchen with a central island, walk-in larder and a dual oven electric fired Aga together with a conventional electric oven and four ring induction hob with a set of French doors leading out to the garden. Off the kitchen is a utility room which houses the Daikin air source heating and controls for the solar panels installed on the roof, a large airing cupboard, traditional pulley airer for drying clothes, plumbing for washing machine, and a sink. Beyond the utility is the cloakroom. There are three further reception rooms, one with bay window and shelving, and another with an open fireplace with tiled slips and hearth and built-in book shelving, also with set of French doors opening out to the garden. The third has a vaulted ceiling with three Velux windows, and a further set of French doors to the garden.
At first floor level, the stairs divide front and rear, giving access to a rear landing with book shelves and two dual aspect guest bedrooms within the extension, one with en suite shower. The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes and a bay window to the front. The en suite bathroom has a bath and separate shower, WC and wide vanity basin. The family bathroom, with a bath and separate shower, as well as a further double bedroom and single bedroom, complete the accommodation.
The property is approached between a pair of brick piers onto a shingled driveway with a double garage to the left (with external power sockets) and parking for multiple cars. The front garden is enclosed behind a hedge and features shrubs, herbaceous planting and roses together. The gardens wrap around the side of the house and are laid to lawn with a large slated outdoor seating area and a paved terrace in one corner. On the other side of the house, there are geometric shaped beds with brick edging around a circular central area, some mature trees including a silver birch tree and a greenhouse. The garden has a working well with a hand operated pump useful for watering the garden. Further paving leads along the side of the house to a timber outbuilding with power.
