Copse Close, Northwood, Middlesex

6 Copse Close is an imposing modern home built for the current owners in 2004. The house occupies a discreet corner position in a wide Copsewood cul de sac, sitting well back in a plot of about half an acre and bordered by only one immediate neighbour. Great attention to detail has been applied in the creation of this wonderful family house with the use of high quality finishes throughout, including the use of antique wooden flooring, which we are informed by the owners was reclaimed from a French chateaux. There are also modern conveniences such as Lutron lighting, air conditioning, underfloor heating and ceiling speakers.

From the double height reception hallway, double doors lead to an impressive drawing room set to the rear and flanked by a large bar and a formal dining room, all of which give access to the patio and gardens beyond. The kitchen is fitted in oak with Miele and Sub Zero appliances. There is a walk in pantry and utility room which leads through to a self contained annexe. This comprises kitchen, bedroom and shower room and can be accessed externally from the side of the house. There is also a family room and guest cloakroom.

The first floor landing is vast and has an area set up as a study. The four main bedroom suites are found on this floor and three of them have separate dressing rooms as well as en suite bath or shower rooms.

The second floor offers leisure facilities with a media room with home cinema and a gym with en suite shower room, that could easily be used as a sixth bedroom if required. There is also a walk in storage room.

The house has only one immediate neighbour being otherwise bordered by the rear fences of other houses. This provides great privacy and the rear garden is well screened from other properties and mainly laid to lawn. A stone baluster enclosed patio runs the length of the house. The front of the house has a block paved carriage driveway with central lawn and flower and shrub beds. There is an integral double garage with internal door to the house.
