Aldsworth Manor Barns, Aldsworth, Emsworth, PO10

Oakwood was converted from a former period barn and now provides spacious accommodation of great character with all rooms having views over the secluded gardens. Forming part of a small devleopment of traditional buildings, the property benefits from a welcoming predominantly glazed reception hall with adjoining dining room and a well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room and boot room. The sitting room is particularly impressive with its high vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers and trusses and has a large brick open fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove. An inner hall provides access to a principal bedroom suite with en-suite bathroom and dressing room. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. All rooms have high ceilings and exposed ceiling trusses. The property also benefits from a separate cloakroom, utility room and a mezzanine study. Outside Oakwood is approached by way of a gravelled driveway with a five bar gate leading to an area of extensive parking, double garage with attached home office. The gardens are a particular feature and are predominantly laid to lawn and provide a good degree of privacy with far-reaching views. The Location The small hamlet of Aldsworth lies approximately 2.5 miles to the east of Emsworth and 7 miles from Chichester within the rich and varied countryside of the South Downs National Park. Miles of footpaths and bridlepaths provide many opportunities for walking and horse riding. The main shopping centres of Chichester, Havant and Gunwharf Quays at Portsmouth are within convenient travelling distance by car or rail. Emsworth has a very good range of local shopping facilities, restaurants and picturesque walks around the northern reaches of Chichester Harbour. Mainline stations are available at both Emsworth and Havant with regular services either via Chichester to London Victoria or via Havant to London Waterloo. Sailing is perhaps one of the predominant pastimes in the area with a choice of sailing clubs in both Langstone and Chichester Harbours. There are two sailing clubs in Emsworth and golf courses can be found at Rowlands Castle and Goodwood. Goodwood also plays host to a full horse racing calendar at its internationally renowned racecourse together with the Festival of Speed and the three day September Revival meeting at its historic motor circuit.
