Full description

A beautifully extended family home in the highly sought-after harbourside hamlet of Prinsted, offering contemporary living in one of West Sussex's most desirable coastal settings.

Occupying a prime position within this charming hamlet, this rarely available home has been thoughtfully extended and enhanced to create stylish, light-filled accommodation, perfectly suited to modern family life.

A welcoming entrance hall leads to a separate sitting room, currently arranged as a study and complemented by elegant plantation shutters, providing a versatile reception space. To the rear, an impressive extension creates the heart of the home, with an open-plan kitchen, dining and family room designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Flooded with natural light from overhead roof lanterns, the space enjoys a wonderful sense of openness, while two sets of bi-fold doors seamlessly connect the interior with the garden. A central island provides an informal dining area, and a wood-burning stove creates a cosy focal point during the cooler months. Practicality has been equally well considered, with a separate utility room fitted with a stable door, adjoining wet room and ground floor cloakroom, ideal after days spent sailing, paddleboarding, dog walking or exploring the beautiful harbour surroundings.

The first floor offers a generous principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, together with two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom.

Outside, the property benefits from a generous driveway providing ample off-road parking, along with a single garage, ideal for storage or use as a workshop. A hardstanding area to the side of the property offers excellent space for storing a boat, paddleboards, kayaks or other watersports equipment. The enclosed rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and framed by mature, well-stocked borders, creating a private and attractive outdoor retreat. A generous paved terrace provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, entertaining guests or simply relaxing with family and friends.

Situation

Prinsted is widely regarded as one of West Sussex's hidden gems, a picturesque waterside hamlet set on the shores of Chichester Harbour, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Renowned for its exceptional coastal scenery, the hamlet offers direct access to miles of harbour walks, together with a public slipway for launching dinghies, kayaks and paddleboards. Two nearby marinas further enhance its appeal for sailing enthusiasts.

The thriving harbourside town of Emsworth is just a short distance away, offering an excellent selection of independent boutiques, cafés, pubs and restaurants. Communications are excellent, with the A259 and Southbourne railway station close by, while Havant provides regular direct rail services to London Waterloo in just over an hour, making the property equally well suited to commuters and those seeking a weekend or permanent coastal home.

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.

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.
