The Square, Westbourne, Emsworth, West Sussex, PO10

Located in the sought after village of Westbourne, which lies on the Hampshire/West Sussex border, The Window Box is a most attractive period property, Listed Grade II, that provides very well presented accommodation of great character arranged over three floors.

The property dates back, we believe, to around 1758 and has had an interesting history starting life as a bed and breakfast and shop and in more recent years has been used primarily as residential and a family run picture framing shop.

The ground floor benefits from a sitting room with underfloor heating at the front of the property as well as a separate study or second reception room and has a good size kitchen/breakfast room which overlooks the rear walled garden. There is also a ground floor shower/cloakroom.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom, though the largest of these rooms is currently being used as a first floor sitting room. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms and a cloakroom. Most rooms throughout the property have exposed wall and ceiling timbers.

To the rear lies a particularly attractive walled garden which in turn provides access to a good size garage/workshop.

The village offers a good selection of local shops together with parish church, village school and public houses. More comprehensive shopping facilities are available at the larger provincial centres of Chichester, Emsworth and Havant with a regular rail service from Havant to London Waterloo in about 1 hour 20 mins, and Chichester to London Victoria in about 1 hour 35 minutes.

The surrounding countryside offers a wide range of sporting and recreational facilities including walking and riding in the nearby South Downs National Park and there are also a good number of local sailing clubs, most notably in Emsworth, Bosham and Chichester Marina.
