Light-filled designer house on 1.4 acres with countryside views.
1. Architect‑designed modern home with dramatic glazed atrium
Copse House is a striking contemporary family home set high in the Surrey Hills on approximately 1.4 acres. Designed by an award‑winning architect, the house emphasises light and landscape with long glass walls, a glazed central atrium and extensive terraces that open to quiet countryside views. The property delivers generous living — five bedrooms, three reception rooms and three bathrooms across around 3,562 sq ft — arranged over multiple levels for flexible family life and entertaining.
Practical modern features include hidden roof solar panels, mechanical ventilation and heat recovery (MVHR), underfloor heating throughout and private off‑street parking behind automatic gates. The kitchen is a statement Poggenpohl design with a large island and adjacent utility, and a dedicated home office benefits from panoramic rural views and a private sun deck.
This is a secluded, very affluent village location with immediate access to Hurtwood walks and close enough to Guildford and Dorking for shops, leisure and rail links. The large, mature gardens and terraces give real outdoor living and privacy, making the plot a major asset for family use, entertaining or private relaxation.
Notable practical points: broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is only average; council tax is very expensive. The house’s concrete, glass and specialist external finishes will require informed maintenance and any purchaser should budget for ongoing upkeep appropriate to a contemporary, architect‑designed property.
