Full description

Occupying a beautiful position overlooking Slipper Mill Pond, this handsome period home enjoys some of the finest waterside views in Emsworth. Set along highly regarded Slipper Road, the property has been carefully refurbished in recent years, creating a house that feels elegant, welcoming and perfectly suited to modern coastal living.

The bay-fronted façade immediately sets the tone, with the principal rooms arranged to make the very most of the outlook across the water. Natural light fills the house throughout the day, while the changing harbour views provide a constant connection to the surrounding landscape. The reception rooms are both comfortable and versatile, offering excellent space for family life as well as entertaining.

The kitchen sits at the heart of the house and is supported by a separate pantry together with a generous utility and boot room, ideal for everyday practicality after sailing, walking or time spent on the water.

Arranged over the upper floors are four bedrooms, including a particularly attractive principal suite with dressing area and en-suite shower room. The second floor provides an additional room with elevated views towards the harbour, lending itself equally well as a guest bedroom, study or peaceful workspace. A family shower room serves the remaining bedrooms.

The gardens have been thoughtfully designed to create a series of distinct outdoor spaces, with winding paths, established planting and areas for dining and entertaining. To the rear, the grounds back onto open pasture, giving the property a rare sense of privacy and openness. A detached annexe with kitchenette and shower room provides useful ancillary accommodation for guests, while workshop areas and timber outbuildings offer excellent storage and flexibility.

Despite its peaceful setting, the property is only a short walk from the centre of Emsworth, one of the South Coast’s most sought-after harbourside towns, known for its sailing community, independent shops, cafés and excellent waterside walks.

Situation

The property is located in the coastal town of Emsworth, a sought-after harbourside community on the edge of Chichester Harbour. The town is well known for its relaxed coastal lifestyle, sailing community and attractive mix of independent shops, cafés and waterside pubs, all centred around the historic square and foreshore.

Emsworth offers a good range of day-to-day amenities, while the surrounding area provides extensive coastal and countryside walks, with the South Downs close by.

Transport links are excellent for a coastal town of this size. Emsworth station provides regular services along the South Coast line with connections towards Portsmouth, Chichester and onward to London via Havant. The nearby A27 gives easy road access along the coast, while the A3(M) connects north towards Guildford and the M25. Portsmouth also offers cross-channel ferry services, and Southampton Airport is within reasonable reach for domestic and European travel.

Why live in Emsworth?

1 of 8

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.
