3 bed semi-detached house for sale

First Avenue, Emsworth PO10

Sat within a small, attractive row of Edwardian homes in the heart of Southbourne, this elegant period semi-detached house has been thoughtfully extended over time to create a well-balanced and highly appealing family home, blending original character with considered modern living.

The property retains the inherent charm of its Edwardian origins, complemented by a number of sympathetic enhancements. Approached via a pretty front garden, the house is further distinguished by a traditional covered veranda, setting an immediate tone of period character. The entrance hall is light and welcoming, providing access to a well-proportioned sitting room featuring a bay-fronted window typical of the era and an attractive feature fireplace, creating a comfortable and inviting reception space.

To the rear, the dining room, kitchen and breakfast area have been opened to form a sociable, flowing arrangement, designed to maximise natural light and outlook over the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, while French doors provide a seamless connection to the rear terrace and garden beyond. A ground floor guest WC completes the accommodation.

Arranged over the upper floors are three double bedrooms, offering a strong sense of space and privacy throughout. The first floor comprises two bedrooms served by a well-appointed family bathroom located to the rear of the property. The second floor is dedicated to the principal suite, providing a peaceful and private retreat with its own en-suite bathroom.

Externally, the property enjoys a mature and well-established English-style garden, carefully landscaped to provide both seclusion and year-round interest. The garden features well-stocked borders, lawned areas and a variety of seating spaces, creating an ideal setting for both relaxation and entertaining.

To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking, while the Edwardian façade, bay window and covered veranda combine to create a particularly attractive and welcoming first impression.
