Description

With origins, it is believed, in the 18th century, Coopers Close is a charming country house with painted brick elevations and exposed timbers under a clay tile roof. It has been extended and refurbished over the years and now offers approaching 3,500 square feet in the main house alone. The accommodation is generous and flexible and has retained the period charm with exposed ceiling and wall timbers, inglenook fireplaces and cottage style fenestration. The property is beautifully presented throughout and it has a lovely feeling of light and space.

All the main reception rooms are south and west facing with views over the beautiful gardens and beyond. The drawing room, in particular, is wonderfully light being triple aspect with French windows opening to the terrace. It has an open fireplace housing a wood burning stove and exposed wall and ceiling timbers. The kitchen is well appointed with a range of painted wall and floor units and integrated appliances include a range cooker with extractor above and a dishwasher. There is a breakfast bar and the room is open plan to the adjacent, double aspect dining room where there are double doors onto the garden.

To the first floor there are four bedrooms, all overlooking the rear gardens and paddocks. The magnificent principal suite comprises dressing room with built-in wardrobes, en suite bathroom and, from the bedroom, double doors open to a covered balcony providing the perfect place to sit and view the surrounding countryside. The guest bedroom has an en suite bathroom and there are two further bedrooms and family bathroom. The fifth bedroom is on the second floor.

OUTSIDE
Coopers Close is approached from the road via a gravel drive sweeping past the superb, thatched barn. This impressive structure welcomes you as you approach the property and then go around to the gated entrance which opens to the gravel parking area to the front of the open bay detached garage block. The unconverted barn is an open, vaulted space showing the full structure of beams to full ceiling height. It has power and light and is currently used as a party barn/games room. There is a portion sectioned off and accessed from the exterior that is used as a wine cellar. The front of the main house is accessed via a pedestrian gate opening to a pretty path, edged with a lavender parterre garden and leading to the front door.

To the rear of the house, accessed from the family room, drawing room and kitchen is a sunny paved terrace providing lots of opportunities for entertaining and enjoying the lovely view over the gardens and grounds. The garden is laid mainly to lawn edged with stunning flower borders planted with a variety of perennials, climbers and shrubs. The property is private benefitting from mature hedging to all boundaries. Beyond the garden are fenced grounds and paddocks overlooking open countryside. Such a wonderful setting for this stunning country house set in its 1.63 acres.
