Property description
An impressive Victorian semi-detached home situated within walking distance of the village centre and the nearby harbour foreshore at Prinsted.
Planning permission has been obtained by the current owner to greatly improve and extended this wonderful property but is now unexpectedly being sold as an unfinished project due to ill health. This extremely rare opportunity presents the perfect chance for the right buyer to finish the works on this character property to their exact finish and specification. Many of the major tasks have already been undertaken including new electrics, a re-roof, and a completely new central heating system.
The current ground floor layout comprises a sitting room with open fireplace, open-plan kitchen/dining room and a newly formed kitchen/living room extension that requires finishing. There are three bedrooms on the first floor, two doubles with feature fireplaces, and an upgraded bathroom with modern white suite having a Mira shower over the bath.
Full details of the planning permission can be found at www.chichester.gov.uk quoting reference 12/00234/DOM.
Outside
The neat front garden has planted borders and a paved pathway leading to the front door with outside light. The side driveway provides off-road parking space for up to three cars.
Enjoying a southerly aspect and a good degree of privacy, the 104’ x 32’ (31.7m x 9.75m) rear garden has a central lawn area with mature borders featuring a great variety of plants, flowering shrubs and small trees. A paved pathway leads to the robust garden studio/home office (7m x 3m) that has double glazed windows and power/lighting connected. At the end of the plot there is a garden store, composting area, and vegetable growing beds.
The Area
Southbourne has a good range of local amenities including convenience stores, railway station with links to Chichester and London, churches and doctors surgery, all within easy walking distance of the property. A particular advantage of the location of this property is the close proximity to the local bus route (main Portsmouth - Brighton route), nearby Co-op store and a public footpath which leads directly to the foreshore at Prinsted. Primary and secondary schools also feature in the village. Further afield Emsworth has specialist shops as well as its quay fronting the head of Chichester harbour where many harbourside walks can be enjoyed. The cathedral city of Chichester is situated approximately 6 miles to the east with its more comprehensive shopping facilities and an excellent selection of bars and restaurants.
