The Lawn

The Principal Period Property
A light and beautifully proportioned period family home which, whilst very much part of this vibrant village with nearby village shops and facilities, still enjoys a high degree of privacy being entirely surrounded by its partially walled gardens.

Entering the property via the central reception hall, elegantly proportioned reception rooms both with impressive fireplaces, west facing window bays and corniced ceilings can be found to either side. The well appointed kitchen/dining/family room runs along the southern side of the house with bi-folding doors opening onto the covered terrace and looking out over a broad sweep of lawn leading down to the tennis court. The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of matching units having black granite worktops and breakfast bar. There is a good range of integrated appliances together with a four oven gas fired Aga in addition to conventional induction hob, gas burner and fan assisted oven/grill.

A further reception hall leads to the cloakroom and a discreet staircase down into a large cellar, providing ample storage space and wine cellar.

First Floor
An elegant staircase leads to the principal bedroom suite, comprising large south facing double bedroom with feature fireplace and two double wardrobes, an ensuite bathroom and dressing room/nursery/bedroom. The principal bedroom suite is complimented by a very private roof terrace, accessed via double glazed door from the dressing room.

Two large double west facing bedrooms with attractive period fireplaces and internal wooden shutters and a further bedroom/study are served by the family bathroom. A well-appointed shower room serves the two remaining bedrooms on the north landing. A secondary staircase leads down to the rear hallway and separate entrance, a spacious family room and utility room/fully fitted kitchen. This flexible layout means this section of the house could easily be used as further self-contained accommodation if required.

Coach House
An attractive period detached self-contained dwelling comprising a ground floor kitchen/breakfast room, a large first floor sitting/dining room with feature west facing arched window, a good-sized double bedroom with ample wardrobe and storage space and en-suite shower room. In addition there are two garages with up and over secure doors.

Ground floor Annexe
An attractive flint walled dwelling to the eastern side of the house provides further independent accommodation. Approached via a private courtyard, the accommodation provides a spacious vaulted sitting room opening onto a fully fitted kitchen. There is a bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room. Whilst independent of the main house with its own heating, an internal lobby allows this to be accessed from the utility room/second kitchen of the main house.

Outside
Power operated double gates on brick piers open onto a broad gravel driveway and approach to the north of the house. This leads past the coach house and into a large screened gravelled parking area which provides ample parking. There is a small yard with store rooms to the eastern boundary which provides discreet secure storage for mowers, bikes etc. An attractive feature arched gateway leads to the:

Gardens and Grounds
The surrounding gardens and grounds are partially walled and provide the house with plenty of privacy. To the north the lawned garden is planted with a small orchard of apple and pear trees and there is a sheltered west facing deck with ornamental pergola. A nearby west facing terrace is also approached by way of double doors from the family room. Walled gardens to the west of the house have an arched gateway opening onto a flagged pathway leading to the original front door with its attractive portico and fanlight. Bi-folding doors from the kitchen/dining room open south onto a terrace covered by a glazed loggia providing a sheltered entertaining space with lighting, heating and speaker point. A further east and south facing broad paved terrace with ornamental brickwork provides further sitting areas on the eastern side of the house and looks over two raised ornamental areas with lighting. To the south a broad sweep of lawn has deep borders stocked with evergreen and flowering shrubs. A number of impressive trees provide attractive focal points. Looking to the south, well-established hedging and planting screens a hard tennis court with greenhouse and nursery beds to one side. A pedestrian gate provides access to adjacent farmland with footpaths for dog walking.

The Location
Westbourne is a thriving village and The Lawn is located within a short walk of a good selection of local shops together with parish church, village school and public houses. More comprehensive shopping facilities are available at the larger centres of Chichester, Emsworth and Havant with regular rail services from Havant to London Waterloo in about 1 hour 20 minutes.

The surrounding countryside offers a wide range of sporting and recreational facilities including walking and riding in the nearby South Downs National Park which is home to numerous pretty villages, many with cafe's, good local pubs and a number of farmshops. This part of the south coast has some of the best sailing facilities within convenient distance of London, including sailing clubs at Emsworth Sailing Club and the Slipper Sailing Club which are only a short distance away. Emsworth still retains a small fishing fleet with two boat yards specialising in classic local craft. Other nearby sailing clubs can be found at Bosham, Chichester Marina and Itchenor. Goodwood hosts a full horse racing calendar including Glorious Goodwood and has a private country club. It also hosts the annual Festival of Speed meeting and the September Revival meeting at its historic motor circuit.
