Victoria Road, Emsworth

An excellent opportunity to acquire this detached character home with annexe accommodation, south facing garden, and garage at the rear, set in a convenient central location within easy reach of the railway station, local shops, and the harbour.

This appealing home has been in the same ownership for over 50 years, during which time extensions and alterations have been made, resulting in over 1900 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation. There is plenty of living space with two generous reception rooms and four bedrooms, three in the main residence and the fourth in the independent annexe. This arrangement presents a fantastic option for buyers seeking a home for multigenerational living. Alternatively, the spacious footprint offers numerous possibilities to remodel and modernise the interior.

The central front door opens into the entrance hall, with doors leading to two front aspect reception rooms, both of generous proportions and featuring bay windows. The sitting room includes a log burning stove. The kitchen, which enjoys a garden outlook is fitted with a range of matching wall and base units, a butler style sink, and planned appliance space. A lobby opens out to the garden and also has a door to the large walk-in pantry. A utility room, accessed from the courtyard area, houses the central boiler, provides space for a washing machine and dryer, and includes a butler sink.

Upstairs the first floor landing has a hatch to the loft space, built-in storage, and doors to three good sized bedrooms, two of which are particularly spacious doubles. The largest room has its own ensuite WC and plenty of room to expand it into a full ensuite. The family bathroom is light and airy, featuring a white suite with a bath and separate shower.

The independent annexe provides a living room with direct garden access, a shower room, a compact kitchen, and a first floor double bedroom.
