Description

An exceptional and rare opportunity to acquire one of Langstone’s most distinctive private residences. Believed to date back to the mid-19th century, Coast & Country by Henry Adams are proud to offer Flint House; a substantial Victorian, six-bedroom detached family home of considerable architectural character, approaching 4,825 square feet of internal accommodation set within approximately half an acre, behind an iron electric gated entrance on one of the village’s most sought-after lanes.

The property’s period flint stone elevations, original proportions and depth of accommodation are immediately apparent, and whilst the house would benefit from some modernisation and cosmetic improvement, it is presented in perfectly habitable order and offers considerable scope both to reconfigure to current tastes and to create a truly exceptional family home of real distinction.

The principal reception is an impressive sitting room of 26’ x 25’10”, featuring an open fireplace and a glazed lantern roof — a room of genuine scale and character that lies at the heart of the house. Off it sits a small nook that could be a library, offering a quiet space that works well as a reading area.

Three further reception rooms complete the ground floor arrangement: a formal dining room (19’11 x 16’3), a substantial snug (23’2 x 16’1) and a study (18’3 x 16’1) — all well-proportioned rooms that give the house a flexibility at a scale rarely found nearby. The kitchen and breakfast room offers a strong footprint with clear potential for open-plan extension or reconfiguration subject to necessary consents and complemented by a separate utility room and downstairs WC. A cellar provides useful additional storage beneath the house, although it’s half-height.

Climbing the grand staircase with ornate handrail and balustrades you will find six bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors. The two principal bedrooms on the first floor are both approaching 20 feet in length — bedroom one benefits from a dressing room off, lending it the feel of a proper principal suite. Bedroom two is equally well proportioned. Bedrooms three and four are comfortable doubles, with bedrooms five and six — both on the second floor being well suited to children or guests. Three bathrooms serve the upper floors, two of which are en suite.

From outside, the property is approached via electric iron gates leading to a substantial gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles, and a detached double garage. The grounds extend to approximately half an acre, laid predominantly to lawn and framed by mature trees and established shrubs. A mature Wisteria covers parts of the rear elevation, a particular feature of the house in season. External stores provide additional practical outbuilding space.

Location

Langstone is a highly regarded tidal harbour village situated between Havant and Hayling Island, with open water on two sides — Langstone Harbour to the west and Chichester Harbour to the east. The village offers a strong sense of community, excellent water sports and walking along the harbour foreshore, and easy access to the broader Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Havant station provides direct rail services to London Waterloo, with journey times comfortably under 90 minutes. The A27 gives ready access to Chichester, Portsmouth and the wider motorway network.

Our office also covers the rural villages of Westbourne and Rowlands Castle on the threshold of the South Downs, as well as Hayling Island with its fabulous beaches and panoramic sea views.

Emsworth and the surrounding area

The sea provides an ideal backdrop to life in Emsworth, with all the activity that it has to offer, and the small welcoming town itself presents a traditional setting and atmosphere that few places on the South Coast have retained. Identified as a Home Town not a cloned Town by a New Economics foundation report in 2005, the town still retains a large number of small independent shops un-spoilt by modern development.

Historic Emsworth. Emsworth was once a port and fishing village where boat building was a central industry. Its people used tidal power to grind flour, and the town also became known for not only boat building, but also its oyster beds, rope making and brewing. These traditions, although some now long redundant have made modern day Emsworth the captivating place that it is.

Emsworth supports a broad spectrum of different pubs, bars and restaurants such as 36 on the Quay, overlooking the harbour, and Fat Olives in a former fisherman's cottage both have enviable reputations, and there are plenty more welcoming hostelries to choose from.
