A frontline waterfront property close to Emsworth with space, privacy, peace and tranquillity ABOUT THIS HOUSE Over the past 20 years, Prinsted House has been transformed into the most fabulous and inviting family home. It is rare to find a waterfront home along the South Coast with such space (both inside the house and across the garden and grounds), privacy, peace and tranquillity. The seven-bedroom house is flooded with natural light from the sky lights on the first floor and large picture windows on the ground floor. The estuary views from the first floor are truly spectacular, looking out across the garden and meadow to Thorney Channel, Chichester Harbour and The Witterings beyond. The house is ideal for entertaining, with the spacious receptions rooms, a fabulous bar hidden within the hallway, an extensive south east-facing terrace, indoor pool and immaculate flat and expansive lawn in front of the house. The vegetable garden is particularly impressive and productive, with raised beds (some of which are laid to well-established asparagus) and a grand greenhouse. Over 1,000 trees have been planted during the past 20 years to provide shelter and privacy, whilst maintaining the estuary views. The property extends to about 7.6 acres and has impressive "green" credentials with both solar water panels on the roof and photovoltaic panels in the garden.
