Perfectly positioned in the heart of this sought-after village, Coast & Country by Henry Adams are proud to offer ‘80 Bowes Hill’, a beautifully presented detached period home that effortlessly blends character charm with modern comforts. Having recently undergone an extensive renovation, the house offers generous and thoughtfully designed family accommodation while retaining original features such as exposed beams, oak latch doors and open fireplaces, both fitted with log-burners. Most windows have also been fitted with classic wooden shutters, adding to its warmth and appeal.

At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space — flooded with natural light thanks to a large ceiling lantern and French doors that open onto the rear terrace, creating an ideal space for entertaining. There’s also a delightful snug with exposed timbers and a wood-burning stove set within an inglenook fireplace, along with a further sitting room featuring another fireplace with wood-burning stove and bi-fold doors leading to the garden. A separate study, family room, utility and cloakroom complete the ground floor, which benefits from underfloor heating throughout.

Upstairs, the principal suite offers a large dressing room, a beautifully appointed en-suite and views over the garden. There are three further bedroom suites, two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing excellent space for family and guests.

The property is approached via electric gates opening to a generous driveway and detached garage. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a broad entertaining terrace, while at the far end sits a superb garden studio — perfect for home working or relaxation.

A rare opportunity to secure an exceptional period home in one of Rowlands Castle’s most desirable locations.

Why live in Emsworth?

The perfect blend of town, country and coastal life is what draws people from all walks of life to Emsworth, Havant and Rowlands Castle.

Moving to Emsworth 

Emsworth itself was once a fishing village, known for boatbuilding, ropemaking and oyster farming. Although many of the old ways are long gone, the town has retained much of its old-fashioned charm and added a modern twist. 

As one of the most successful estate agents in Emsworth, we love working in this fabulous seafront setting. Emsworth has lots of independent shops, a butcher, fishmonger, florist, delicatessen, supermarkets and nearby farm shops. We’re also spoilt by the number of popular pubs, bars and restaurants here where you can enjoy a chilled drink with friends as the sun goes down or fine dining with a waterside view. 

With its coastal setting, Emsworth is a paradise for sailors. Wonderful waterside properties line the harbour and there’s a choice of local sailing clubs, whether you’re just finding your sea legs or you’re a seasoned sailor. Nearby Hayling Island is the spiritual home of windsurfing. On weekends, you’ll often see them racing and dancing across the waves as you stroll the long, golden beaches. 

Emsworth is a great place for families too. You’ll find a great selection of good schools, including St. James Primary School, Emsworth Primary School, Warblington Secondary School and Bourne Community College

The many artists who live and work here throw open their studio doors to show their work at the annual Emsworth Art Trail. The Emsworth Horticultural Society holds the annual Emworth Show over the August Bank Holiday, which includes demonstrations of ancient crafts such as glass-blowing, wood turning, falconry and beekeeping. It’s a buzzing community with local business networks firing on all cylinders and its own magazine, The Ems, keeping everyone updated on local events. 

Moving to Rowlands Castle 

Just inland is the pretty village of Rowlands Castle, bordered by the spectacular scenery of the South Downs National Park. The village lies a few miles north of Chichester and Portsmouth, so there’s great access to all the amenities of city life from a countryside setting. Closer to home, Rowlands Castle itself has all you need for everyday living, from a convenience store, pharmacy, vets and a post office just off the traditional village green.

Henry Adams has been the trusted choice for estate agents in Rowlands Castle for over 30 years. In 2022, we extended our reach in the village when Henry Adams acquired the sales and lettings portfolios of Harris, Parkes & Drake, a highly respected local, independent agency. 

Rowlands Castle has three friendly pubs and a cafe, a railway station with a direct line to London Waterloo, and easy access to the A3(M) interchange which links to Portsmouth, Petersfield and London. There are plenty of local opportunities for taking time to enjoy life, including Rowlands Castle Golf Club nearby, Rowlands Castle Tennis Club, and the great Stansted Estate for scenic walks and a sense of grandeur. 

Moving to Havant 

Nestled in the southeast corner of Hampshire is the historic market town of Havant. Situated close to the coast, Havant is bordered by the South Downs and the Solent. Langstone Bridge connects the mainland to Hayling Island with its long stretches of beaches and waterside walks. 

This area has great connections. The A27 runs along the southern fringes of Havant, linking to Chichester & Brighton to the east and to Portsmouth & Southampton to the west. Travelling northwards the A3(M) provides easy access to Horndean, Petersfield, Haslemere, Guildford and central London. 

Havant’s rich history dates back to Roman times and is mentioned in the Doomsday Book in 1086 when its population was about 100 people. Over the years, it’s grown through trade and agriculture, as well as the thriving glove-making trade in the 1700s. The Victorian-era train station now connects passengers directly to London with some journey times taking less than an hour and a half to the capital. The architecture reflects the evolution of Havant, with Georgian buildings lending character from earlier years.Today there are specialist retailers, high street shops, a twice-weekly market, restaurants, pubs, and Horizon Leisure Centre which has a 25m indoor pool and caters to a range of sporting interests. 

Warblington, Langstone, Denvilles and more

Its train station links directly to London Victoria while Warblington School caters for the younger generation.Families and individuals can make the most of active leisure locally, such as The Avenue, a popular sports & social club, and the expanses of open countryside and coastline. 

Langstone lies on the upper reaches of Chichester Harbour and Langstone Harbour, which are Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), the village has renowned pubs and a historic mill. Langstone Bridge offers a scenic passage across the water to Hayling Island, with its breathtaking coastal scenery. Attracting new and growing businesses to the area is Langstone Park, which is undergoing significant investment and development. 

Neighbouring Denvilles is a popular residential location where you’ll find attractive Victorian & Edwardian homes alongside more modern family homes from the 1960s to the present day. There’s a real sense of community, making this an ideal setting for individuals, couples and families.
