Property description

An extremely rare opportunity to acquire this substantial Edwardian family residence situated just to the north of Emsworth town centre, standing in grounds extending to approximately 0.4 acres.

The property is believed to have building potential for an additional dwelling alongside the current property (subject to the usual planning requirements being sought). Alternatively this home could be significantly extended in its own right. A decoratively glazed front door opens into the entrance lobby that leads through to the main entrance hall with original staircase leading to the first floor and storage cupboard beneath. There are two formal reception rooms; one currently used as a family room with a full width west facing window and an exposed open fireplace (not currently used), and a sitting room also with open fireplace with brick surround. Exposed floorboards continue from the sitting area through to the dining area with serving hatch to the kitchen and French doors opening into the well proportioned conservatory with integral door to the garage. The kitchen features a good range of fitted wall and base units set under laminate work surfaces and incorporates a range style cooker. There is open-plan access to the breakfast room extension that features twin vaulted ceilings with high level Velux roof windows. A Utility area with additional sink, cloakroom and French doors opening out to the decking, completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor there are four good-sized double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, and a family bathroom with corner bath having an independent Mira shower over. There is also an additional WC accessed from the landing.

Outside
A brick wall forms the front boundary with 'in and out' driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to the attached garage. The garage has overhead storage space, rear aspect window, power/lighting connected and integral door to the conservatory. Gates open to the rear garden with additional parking and storage area.  The extensive rear garden measures approximately 163' x 68'(49.7m x 20.7m) with the overall plot, including the house extending to approximately 0.4 acres. The garden is mostly laid to lawn with a raised decking area at the rear of the house. Twin gates from the driveway open to an additional parking area which leads onto a brick built garage/workshop. Further features include a sunken vegetable garden, greenhouse, chicken run and garden store. 

The Area
The picturesque harbourside town centre of Emsworth lies just to the south with its excellent variety of local shops, pubs, restaurants and two sailing clubs. The West Sussex border village of Westbourne is within walking distance of the property and has a convenience store & post office, doctors surgery, pubs, restaurant and cafe. Emsworth sits at the top of Chichester harbour and there are several walks nearby including routes to Langstone and the coastal footpath around Thorney Island, part of which is an RSPB nature reserve. This conveniently situated home is also ideally placed for transport links with both Emsworth railway station and bus routes nearby. The cathedral city of Chichester is situated approximately 8 miles to the east and offers excellent high street shopping and leisure facilities to suit all.
