First Avenue, Emsworth
£520,000

Offered for sale for the first time since it was built in 1968, this unextended three-bedroom detached home sits on a generous plot with an unusually long rear garden. With neighbouring properties having added significant extensions over the years, buyers will immediately appreciate the strong potential for modernisation and enlargement, subject to the usual consents. The property is chain-free and available for immediate viewings conducted exclusively by Borland & Borland.

Originally purchased off-plan by the same family who have cherished it for more than five decades, the house has been well cared for but now offers an excellent opportunity for decorative updating, including the kitchen and bathroom. The layout is highly practical, and the property’s unaltered footprint provides a true blank canvas for those wishing to create a long-term home.

A standout feature is the superb rear garden. In 1971, the owners acquired additional land, making the garden notably deeper than neighbouring plots. This level of outside space is rare locally and ideal for families, gardeners, or anyone wishing to build a generous extension without compromising garden size.

To the front, the house benefits from driveway parking and an attached garage. The setting is peaceful, in a pleasant residential part of Southbourne, with convenient access to major road links. The property is only a short walk from Southbourne railway station and sits close to the village library and other local amenities.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a family home in an excellent location, offering substantial potential in a road where neighbouring improvement projects set a strong precedent.
