5 bedroom detached house for sale

Clovelly Road is one of south-west Emsworth's most desirable residential addresses, and this double-fronted 1930s house makes the most of its position - within easy walking distance of both the harbour foreshore and the town centre yet set back from the road behind a gated driveway with a quietly residential feel. The house has been thoughtfully updated over time, retaining the period character - fireplaces, proportions, a sense of solidity - while adding the comfort and practicality a family home needs. The entrance hall is generous and sets an immediate tone of space. To either side of the front door, two well-proportioned reception rooms face the street: the dining room has a bay window and a fireplace with a multi-fuel stove, while the sitting room is a comfortable retreat with its own log burner. Both rooms have the easy, unhurried feel that comes from proper ceiling heights and good natural light. To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is centred on a large island and fitted with high-gloss cabinetry and integrated appliances - a practical, sociable space with room for informal dining as well as cooking. It connects through to the sunroom, where bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, creating the kind of easy inside-outside flow that makes a west-facing aspect genuinely valuable on a summer evening. A utility room, guest WC and internal access to the double-length garage/workshop complete the ground floor. The principal suite is the standout room in the house. A vaulted ceiling gives it an immediate sense of occasion, built-in wardrobes provide serious storage, and a Juliette balcony overlooks the garden. The en suite shower room is well-appointed. A second bedroom has its own en suite, and three further bedrooms - two of which are currently arranged as home offices - are served by a family bathroom. The flexibility across the upper floor is genuine: this works equally well as a straightforward five-bedroom house or with two rooms dedicated to working from home. The west-facing rear garden is well-arranged and has been carefully maintained. A broad terrace runs directly off the sunroom, stepping down to an established lawn framed by mature planting that provides both privacy and structure. A summerhouse sits within the garden, alongside a productive kitchen garden with greenhouse and raised beds - the kind of detail that reflects a house genuinely lived in and loved. A practical side washdown area adds everyday utility. To the front, a gated driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles alongside the double-length garage/workshop.
