The AreaEmsworth

Prinsted House really does offer the most wonderful waterfront lifestyle. It is about a two minute walk from Thornham Marina and about a five minute bicycle ride from Emsworth Yacht Harbour. Lying within Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this area remains one of the few undeveloped coastal areas across Southern England. The village of Prinsted is about ½ mile from the property and is well connected with the A259, giving easy access to Chichester, Havant and Petersfield. Southbourne is also about ½ mile away and has a church, library, post office, renowned farm shop, chemist, doctor’s surgery, schools (infant, junior and community college) and a supermarket. Prinsted beach is a long stretch of sand and shingle and is perfect for swimming, relaxing and water sports. The whole area is ideal for dog walking. There are also several cafes and restaurants along the Southbourne beachfront. The market town of Emsworth is about 1 ½ miles away and has a medical centre and dental surgery as well as a variety of restaurants, pubs and cafés. The historic cathedral of Chichester is about 7 ½ miles away and is a lively hub of shopping, amenities and commerce. There is a comprehensive range of social and recreational facilities including a multiscreen cinema, sports centres with swimming pools and a fine selection of restaurants, public houses, wine bars and bistros. In addition, there is the recently extended award-winning Pallant House Gallery and internationally acclaimed Festival Theatre. The Goodwood Estate is about 10 miles away and internationally known for its horse racing, Festival of Speed and the Revival Meeting at its historic motor circuit.

Prinsted House, EmsworthAbout this home

Over the past 20 years, Prinsted House has been transformed into the most fabulous and inviting family home. It is rare to find a waterfront home along the South Coast with such space (both inside the house and across the garden and grounds), privacy, peace and tranquillity. The seven-bedroom house is flooded with natural light from the sky lights on the first floor and large picture windows on the ground floor. The estuary views from the first floor are truly spectacular, looking out across the garden and meadow to Thorney Channel, Chichester Harbour and The Witterings beyond. The house is ideal for entertaining, with the spacious receptions rooms, a fabulous bar hidden within the hallway, an extensive south east-facing terrace, indoor pool and immaculate flat and expansive lawn in front of the house. The vegetable garden is particularly impressive and productive, with raised beds (some of which are laid to well-established asparagus) and a grand greenhouse. Over 1,000 trees have been planted during the past 20 years to provide shelter and privacy, whilst maintaining the estuary views. The property extends to about 7.6 acres and has impressive “green” credentials with both solar water panels on the roof and photovoltaic panels in the garden.
