Full description

An Exceptional Edwardian Residence. Quite possibly one of the finest Edwardian homes currently available, this outstanding residence has been refurbished to an exacting standard by the current owners. The result is a seamless blend of period elegance and contemporary living, where original architectural features sit effortlessly alongside refined modern design.

The approach immediately sets the tone. An original Edwardian veranda provides a striking first impression, hinting at the quality and attention to detail found throughout. Upon entering the home, a beautifully considered sightline draws the eye straight through to the rear garden, framed by a substantial and architecturally impressive extension that defines the home’s exceptional layout.

The ground floor offers a superb balance of formal and informal living. Two elegant reception rooms provide flexible spaces for entertaining and relaxation, complemented by a dedicated home office, perfectly suited to modern working life.

At the heart of the home lies a stunning kitchen and snug area, thoughtfully designed as a calm yet sociable space. Bathed in natural light and overlooking the south-facing garden, this is a setting equally suited to everyday family living and hosting guests with ease.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four generous double bedrooms, each offering comfort and proportion in keeping with the home’s Edwardian heritage. Two beautifully appointed bathrooms complete the accommodation, designed to a standard more commonly found in luxury hotels, offering indulgence and calm in equal measure.

The south-facing garden is a private and tranquil retreat, with established fruit trees and a beautifully arranged outdoor dining area, providing an ideal setting for summer entertaining, al fresco dining or quiet relaxation. To the front of the property, there is ample parking for several vehicles, together with a garage with power connected.

This is a truly exceptional home, one that combines character, craftsmanship, and contemporary luxury without compromise. A rare opportunity to acquire an Edwardian property of this calibre, now ready to be enjoyed by its next discerning owner.

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 Emsworth Sales Branch Manager, Katie Cummings, seamlessly took the helm at Henry Adams in Emsworth and she continues to specialise in selling homes in Rowlands Castle. With her guidance, based on extensive knowledge of the local property market, you can confidently navigate buying or selling in this lovely village. 

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.
