An Exceptional Edwardian Home in a Beautiful Woodland Setting

Set within approximately 0.45 acres of secluded gardens and enjoying a picturesque woodland backdrop, this outstanding four-bedroom detached Edwardian residence occupies a peaceful semi-rural position between the cathedral city of Chichester and the waterside town of Emsworth.

Approached via a private single-track lane, the property has been extensively and sympathetically restored to an exceptional standard, seamlessly blending period charm with modern comforts.

The welcoming reception hall immediately sets the tone, featuring a traditional tiled floor, an attractive fireplace with gas-fired stove, and a striking oak staircase. Beyond, an inner hall leads to the impressive dual-aspect drawing and dining room, where a wood-burning stove is set within a character fireplace and a large picture window frames delightful views over the west-facing rear garden. A separate sitting room provides an additional cosy retreat.

A particular highlight of the home is the spacious conservatory, flooded with natural light and opening directly onto the garden through French doors. From here, a doorway leads to a unique home pub bar, complete with exposed brickwork and a vaulted ceiling, creating a wonderful space for entertaining.

The generously proportioned kitchen/breakfast room is both stylish and practical, featuring shaker-style cabinetry, contrasting quartz worktops, a central island, and integrated appliances including a microwave, full-height fridge and freezer, and dishwasher. There is also space for a Rangemaster-style cooker, while dual-aspect windows and a Velux rooflight provide excellent natural light. All four windows in the kitchen are fitted with electric blinds.

A separate inner hall gives access to a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and the added convenience of a built-in dog shower.

The principal bedroom suite is thoughtfully positioned on the ground floor and benefits from a dual aspect, patio doors opening onto a private walled courtyard, and a beautifully appointed en suite shower room with a traditional-style suite and spacious walk-in shower.

The first floor offers three further double bedrooms together with an elegant family bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot bath.

Outside, the property is surrounded by mature, secluded gardens that back directly onto ancient woodland. The side garden incorporates a charming walled courtyard, a further patio with pergola, and areas of lawn, while the rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by established trees and shrubs, creating a remarkable sense of privacy and tranquillity which attracts an abundance of wildlife.

A wide private driveway provides ample parking and leads to a single garage with remote-controlled roller door. Across the lane, a private lay-by offers additional visitor parking.
