A magnificent and historic residence forming part of an impressive late Victorian country house, beautifully converted to create an exceptional home of considerable character.
Occupying an elevated position with the benefit of a secluded woodland area, 2 War Coppice House enjoys panoramic views across the Surrey Hills and offers an enviable combination of heritage, privacy and modern living.
Approached via a long private driveway, the property is discreetly tucked away off War Coppice Road and forms one of just four distinguished dwellings created from this substantial multi-gabled country house. The conversion has been sympathetically undertaken to preserve the building's rich architectural heritage, with an abundance of original period features thoughtfully retained throughout.
The accommodation extends across three floors, providing versatile and beautifully presented living space. Through the impressive double wooden panelled doors, a vestibule leads into a striking reception hall where the eye is immediately drawn towards the far reaching countryside views beyond. The exceptional character of the property is evident throughout, with original wall panelling, decorative coving, lofty ceilings, stained-glass windows, feature arches, oak-panelled doors, fireplaces and timber flooring all contributing to the home's remarkable sense of history and grandeur.
Leading from the reception hall with an original fireplace, is a spacious library and the principal bedroom suite, both enjoying elevated views across the surrounding countryside. The principal suite is complemented by a beautifully appointed contemporary bathroom.
The oak staircase leads to the first floor where there are three further bedrooms. One bedroom overlooks the private woodland to the front, whilst the remaining rooms enjoy stunning views across the Surrey Hills, enhanced by vaulted ceilings that create a wonderful sense of space and light. A stylish family bathroom features both a walk in shower and separate bath, perfectly positioned to enjoy a tranquil outlook over the surrounding woodland. Additional storage is provided from the landing, including a useful linen cupboard.
The lower ground floor forms the heart of the home, with a superb arrangement of living and entertaining spaces. An open plan reception and dining area with natural oak flooring flows seamlessly into the principal sitting room. Featuring a decorative fireplace and double doors opening onto a generous terrace, this elegant space is perfectly designed for both family living and formal entertaining. The terraces provide an outstanding vantage point from which to enjoy the spectacular backdrop of the Surrey Hills and the rolling countryside of the North Downs.
The traditional kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and centred around a substantial island incorporating informal seating, creating both a practical workspace and a sociable gathering point. The kitchen connects naturally with the dining area, enhancing the flow of the living accommodation. A further walk in shower room with a modern white suite completes the lower floor.
Outside, two impressive terraces provide exceptional outdoor entertaining areas, offering uninterrupted views across the surrounding landscape. To the front, a private woodland enhances the sense of seclusion and provides a beautiful natural setting to enjoy throughout the seasons. Parking is available for three vehicles to the front of the property with an additional parking bay.
War Coppice House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine historic significance, combining the elegance and craftsmanship of a distinguished Victorian country house with the comfort and flexibility required for contemporary living, all within an idyllic Surrey Hills setting.
