Is Copthorne a nice place to live?

Copthorne is a small Sussex village popular with families. It has all the atmosphere of a village yet is only a stone’s throw away from the transport links to London, Brighton and Gatwick Airport. It’s said that people who live here love it so much they don’t move away but relocate within the local area as their needs change.

Copthorne is a sociable village and the lively carnival, which has been running every year for over half a century, is a major event where the streets play host to floats, dancers and colourful characters as well as a selection of stalls and games.

There are lots of sports teams to get involved with all year round, as well as horse riding, Tulley’s Farm, and a polo club. There are also lots of excellent pubs and restaurants in which to unwind, perhaps after a stroll around Ashdown Forest or Ardingly Reservoir.

Copthorne offers an array of different sized houses and roads for all types of buyers. There is also fantastic shopping available nearby at Horley or Crawley town centres.

Copthorne Bank

Copthorne Bank is a popular road that passes through the upper part of Copthorne and extends out into the countryside. The street offers a range of property types, from large detached homes in secluded areas, to three and four-bedroom semi-detached homes in the village itself.

Copthorne Bank is just a stone’s through from a number of amenities, such as a well-regarded pizza takeaway, two popular village pubs, plus the Copthorne Social Club and Cricket Club. It’s a great location if you want to be close to what’s happening in the village and also have the countryside on your doorstep.

Copthorne Common has various types of property on offer, from large country estates with plenty of outside space to bright and cosy terraced cottages.

The development is close to the village and its amenities, as well as being close to the road links to the M23, perfect for commuters.
