Property description

GUIDE PRICE: £325,000 - £375,000: A lovely \"Chocolate box\" style period detached with history being the old reading rooms of Copthorne. Detached, 3 bedrooms, 2 receptions, parking, large garden with a charming double fronted facade.
It's believed to date back to the mid 19th century. This property was originally the \"Reading Rooms\" of Copthorne so there is plenty of history and character. It is located very conveniently by the A264, perfect for reaching London and Brighton via motorway links or trains from Gatwick or Three Bridges.

The property itself has been extended slightly to the rear but would benefit from further development if it was to be used as a family house. In typical 19th century style it offers 'cosy' size rooms (to coin a cliché agency term) but to you and I that means overall it's quite small in comparison with a 70's build, it is however very quaint and consistent with the period of the build.

It consists of… kitchen/breakfast room (backing onto the rear patio), dining room with fuel burner, lounge with open fireplace, downstairs WC, three bedrooms and parking to the side with its own driveway.

The property would benefit from the addition of central heating. The property is located on a the A264 hence why it is being offered at such a competitive price. A 3 bedroom, period detached, locally for this price is unheard of these days.

It has a large, south facing rear garden which backs onto trees. There are various sheds at the end as well as a studio with power, light and TV aerial.

The school catchment area is fantastic with some of our best state schools locally as well as being walking distance from some of the local, well regarded public schools too.

Readers Cottage is also located close to public bridleways, woods and fields, local fisheries, a golf course and gastro pubs like \"The Dukes Head\" are one of many great eateries around here.

The current owners moved here for a touch of the country life yet unforeseen circumstances force the sale. Their daughters have enjoyed riding horses and the freedom of the outdoors so will be sad to leave.
