5 Bedroom Detached House For Sale In Emsworth

Situated to the west of Emsworth village centre, and close to the foreshore, this spacious Edwardian home stands in a generous private plot.

As expected of its period, the house has good proportions within a total of approximately 2,102 sq. ft. of internal accommodation. Now ready for updating, there is ample scope and space for doing so. Many of the ’must haves’ buyers note on their ’wish list’ are on offer here; a well-regarded residential area, a house which is well-placed within its plot, space and the opportunity to extend, privacy and easy access to amenities such as schools, travel links and, increasingly, the great outdoors. It is generally accepted by buyers that there will have to be a compromise on some of those ’must haves’, but perhaps not here!

Having been in the same family for about 50 years, Helsington is now awaiting its new owners, who have the opportunity to re-create a fine family home for generations to come.

Ideally placed for taking enjoyment from all that this charming harbourside village has to offer. Within just a short stroll from the house you can access the coastal footpath that meanders along the Emsworth’s shoreline and on to Chichester in one direction, and to Hayling Island in the other. Along the way, there is much to observe, and it’s a also great spot to just relax by the water’s edge and enjoy the view.

Emsworth, although a small town, is still regarded by many as a village primarily due to its community. Whilst daily amenities are adequately provided for, there are no large shops such as those that usually generate large numbers. For that, there is Havant which is about 1.5 miles from the house. As such, Emsworth retains a relaxed atmosphere with locals and daily visitors enjoying its tranquil surrounds. Younger family members may enjoy being close to the water where kayaking and sailing are popular pastimes. Emsworth has two sailing clubs, whilst Havant has a good provision of further sports facilities.

For those who require access to London the mainline station is located on North Street, and there is no need to take the car as it’s a comfortable walk for most. Regular daily services connect with London Waterloo. Access to the A27 south coast road and the A3 to London is nearby.

Standing well back and partially screened from the road, the house is entered via a spacious hallway with large windows overlooking the driveway and front garden. The three good-sized reception rooms offer flexibility of use for any family needs and flow well together, with the conservatory being ideally placed for peaceful enjoyment of the garden. The kitchen is located at one end of the dining room with a utility room and WC at the other.

On the first floor, there are five bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The gardens wrap around the house on all sides and offer total privacy. There are deep borders with a mix of mature trees, high hedging and shrubbery, bordering a spacious lawn. A timber garden shed and useful brick-built store are located to the north side of the house, and there is a sem-enclosed area of garden just outside the kitchen. There is ample space for parking.
