12, River Street, Westbourne £575,000

Available with no forward chain, Treagust & Co is delighted to offer the opportunity to acquire Riverside House, a charming Grade II listed home with a generous southerly facing rear garden, workshop, garden office and garage, located within easy reach of Westbourne village centre amenities. The property has been sympathetically updated while retaining its wealth of original character features, with notable improvements including a refitted kitchen and bathroom, complete rewiring, the installation of a new central heating system and boiler, and flooring. Secondary double glazing is installed to the front of the house.  

The front door opens into the dining room, featuring an exposed brick fireplace, with a door leading into the generous sitting room. This inviting space enjoys twin windows overlooking the front, a feature fireplace with a log-burning stove, and a staircase rising to the first floor. Set to the rear of the home and overlooking the garden is the charming kitchen, combining exposed beams, terracotta flooring, and shaker-style units with worktops over. A real feature of this room is the brick inglenook housing the Range cooker (which is to remain, and had little use). There is further planned appliance space, and a door which leads into the rear lobby, which provides access to both the dining room and the rear garden.

On the first floor, a split-level landing with built-in storage provides access to two bedrooms: a spacious principal bedroom and a second bedroom with a walk-in dressing room fitted with built-in wardrobes. Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, featuring a modern white suite with a bath and separate shower cubicle.

Outside

To the front of the property, twin gates provide access to a store, with a workshop beyond that has doors opening onto the garden. The generous rear garden features a paved patio seating area with raised brick planters incorporating a pond, an area of lawn with mature planted borders filled with a variety of trees and shrubs, a greenhouse, and a summer house/store with power connected. A garage, also included in the sale, is located to the rear of the property.

The Area
The property is situated within easy walking distance of Westbourne village centre with its range of local shops, church, cafe, pubs and doctors surgery. The harbourside town centre of Emsworth lies to the south with its excellent variety of local shops, pubs, restaurants and two sailing clubs. Emsworth sits at the top of Chichester harbour and there are several walks nearby including routes to Langstone and the coastal footpath around Thorney Island. The cathedral city of Chichester is situated approximately 8 miles to the east and offers excellent high street shopping and leisure facilities to suit all.
