Property description

An extremely rare opportunity to acquire this delightful cottage offering more accommodation than initially meets the eye, situated in the heart of Emsworth's conservation area and within easy reach of the town centre, harbour foreshore and Mill Pond.

Available with no forward chain, this tastefully presented home has been greatly improved by the current owner whilst retaining many original features and has the additional advantage of elevated harbour views from the second floor master bedroom suite. 

The front door opens into the cosy sitting room which features an open fireplace with pine surround and matching alcove cupboard. An inner hallway with stairs to the first floor leads onto the dining room with built-in storage cupboard and exposed brick chimney breast with log burning stove. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of bespoke pine units and has a built- in oven, hob, extractor, ceramic sink unit and space for a dishwasher. There is a side door to the garden and a concealed sliding door opening into a utility area with space for a fridge/freezer and washing machine. The wall mounted Vaillant boiler (installed in 2011) is also housed here. A further sliding door leads to the spacious ground floor bathroom featuring a white suite with independent shower over the bath and a built-in linen cupboard. 

On the first floor there are two good sized bedrooms, both with feature fireplaces.  A return staircase leads to the second floor master bedroom suite which enjoys stunning views of both the harbour and the Mill Pond. This fantastic space has been cleverly designed and features oak flooring, a built-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom fitted with a modern white suite with Mira shower over the bath. Further benefits include sash style UPVC double glazing, cavity wall insulation and an efficient gas central heating system. 

Outside
A brick and flint wall forms the front boundary with pathway leading to the front door. On street parking is available on King Street with residents permits available.  

The southerly facing cottage style garden has been planned for ease of maintenance being primarily paved, and provides a good degree of privacy. Throughout the garden there is an extensive range of mature plants and shrubs, and a seating area set under a pergola with established wisteria. At the end of plot there is a well constructed brick built store with front and rear twin doors, overhead storage space, and power/lighting connected. The rear doors open out to the rear access pathway.
