Cozy riverside abode ideal for water enthusiasts, boasting classic Georgian architecture
In the historic coastal town of Emsworth, Hampshire, a late-18th-century real estate property named Ivy House is making waves. Acquired in August 2018 by Roger Browning, a retired Winchester GP and a lifelong sailor, this magnificent home has undergone a comprehensive restoration, transforming it into a luxurious abode.
Situated on King Street, a quiet no-through road leading to the beach, Ivy House boasts more than 5,000 sq ft of accommodation arranged over five levels. The house, built in 1790 by a prosperous merchant named Mr. King, now offers four reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, seven bedrooms, and two bathrooms.
Ivy House's most notable feature is the planning consent to convert the vast loft into a further room with high-level views across the Emsworth water to the Isle of Wight. This addition promises to offer an unparalleled living experience, complementing the property's existing charm.
The guide price for Ivy House is £3.25m and it is being sold through the Chichester office of Strutt & Parker. The house is one of the properties featured in this week's list of the best houses for sale.
While Ivy House steals the limelight, the Chichester Harbour, often overlooked, is another gem in the area. Rosie Paterson recently explored the harbour, revealing its charming rural villages and picture-perfect spots beside the sea. The harbour, located in Sussex, is part of the Chichester Harbour AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), a testament to its natural splendour.
As more people opt for commuting two or three days a week, the best places to live south of London are increasingly in demand. Emsworth, with its historic charm and modern amenities, is certainly a contender. The town offers a peaceful lifestyle, combined with easy access to London and the beautiful South Downs National Park.
Whether you're drawn by the allure of Ivy House or the charm of Emsworth, one thing is certain - the town and its iconic real estate offer an appealing combination of history, luxury, and natural beauty.
