Southleigh Road, Emsworth

Situated on the sought-after Southleigh Road in Emsworth, this charming three-bedroom detached Edwardian home, built circa 1911, is now available on the open market. Beautifully presented throughout, the property retains many original period features, including cast-iron fireplaces, high skirting boards, original doors and high ceilings.

The current owners, who have lived here since 2013, have thoughtfully enhanced the property while preserving its character. Upgrades include a replacement roof, the addition of double-glazed sash windows, and improvements to both the interior and garden. A standout feature is the external office/garden room which is a self-contained unit offering versatile additional space, ideal for those working from home or perhaps wishing to use as an 'Air BnB'.

The generously sized rear garden provides a tranquil setting for relaxation and recreation, while the front of the property benefits from ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles. Inside, the home offers two spacious reception rooms, a well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room, and three double bedrooms on the first floor. The main bathroom features a stylish clawfoot roll-top bath, adding to the home's period charm.

Early viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
