Formerly home to the famous cricketing Bedser brothers who played first-class cricket for Surrey & England, representing England 51 times during the 1950s, and were regarded as England's greatest cricketing twins. The Bedsers, who grew up in Horsell, built and lived at The Coppice until 2010. Sir Alec and Eric Bedser are now remembered with two life-size bronze statues, representing the Horsell cricketing legends, unveiled by The Lightbox gallery and museum in 2015. The statues, are positioned at either end of the Bedser Bridge in Woking.

The Coppice certainly looks nothing like it once did in the 1950's and has been subject to an incredible transformation into what is now a contemporary family home. Situated in an enviable semi-rural position, fronting Horsell Common, and yet within a short distance of the major centre of Woking. The contemporary nature of the property has been achieved through the extensive use of quality materials, both inside and out, with a focus on the design and the creation of open spaces, which flow through much of the accommodation.

The kitchen/dining room is set centrally at the rear of the house, and is the heart of the home for day to day living. Glass overhead and large bi-folds connect the house to the garden. To one side there is a generous dual aspect sitting room with impressive feature fire place, whilst the other side offers a further flexible reception in addition to the study/gym. Further downstairs accommodation consists of the utility room with walk in pantry and integral double garage.

To the 1st and 2nd floor of the property are six double bedrooms and four bathrooms, three of which are en-suite. The stunning master bedroom has a real emphasis on space, taking up the entire east wing of the property to include an elegant dressing area with central island and luxurious en-suite bathroom.

The house is announced on approach via a brick pillared entrance with electric gates, opening into a large driveway, with ample parking and turning space, leading to the integral garage. To the rear of the property, the garden continues to impress. At approaching 1/2 an acre, and south facing, it is rare plot size for the location, with a great level of privacy and seclusion. There is a large terrace, which spreads out along the whole of the rear of the property, with several access points from the bi-folding or French doors leading from the reception rooms, ideal for entertaining. Beyond the expansive lawn and covered outdoor kitchen with bar area, lies a further garden. A beautiful hedge separates and provides extra privacy to this garden, which includes formal box hedging, vegetable gardens and an enclosed seating area.

The location is enviably situated on the cusp of Horsell Common and the village of Horsell offering an excellent range of shops, schools and facilities. Conveniently the larger town of Woking is only a 15 min walk away too and provides a further extensive range of shopping and recreational facilities including the Peacocks Centre and the mainline station.
