Dolphin Quay, Queen Street, Emsworth, Hampshire, PO10

With breathtaking views over the River Ems channel and the adjacent Slipper Mill Pond, Sedna is a spectacular detached house in immaculate condition which shares an exclusive jetty with its neighbouring property.

Constructed in 2021 the owner bought off-plan and had the house remodelled to his own specification with the addition of accessibility features, including a lift serving all floors and an integrated home control and media system.

This bespoke house which looks straight down the river channel and directly across to the pretty Slipper Mill Pond, has been designed in a contemporary style with materials of a traditional nature to reflect and contrast with the neighbouring listed mill style buildings and the industrial use of this former boatyard.

Built to stringent standards, the house has underfloor heating throughout, a luxury fitted kitchen with integrated Neff appliances, three premium German bathrooms and fitted furniture to the study and the three bedrooms. Three separate south facing balconies serve the living room and master bedroom.

The external elevations to the house are made up of a striking blend of zinc cladding with Cedar wood sections set against red brick and the anthracite grey aluminium windows and doors and the clear glass balcony balustrades.

The house has antiglare and solar glass on the south facing windows to help reduce glare and overheating, and the architect has further embraced the quayside location with a wraparound double aspect window off the kitchen.

On the ground floor is a secure one car garage, a boat store and workshop with two sets of double doors which open onto the carport and the generously sized south facing terrace which has steps leading to the private jetty with moorings.

This pretty harbourside village on the boundary of Hampshire and West Sussex is extremely popular and it is not hard to see why. It has retained a good collection of local shops, pretty pubs and noteworthy restaurants including No. 36 On The Quay and Fat Olives. The village still retains a small fishing fleet.

Despite its idyllic setting, Emsworth is extremely accessible the good rail and road links to London, Havant station providing a mainline service to Waterloo in 1 hour 25 minutes. The old city of Portsmouth and Gunwharf Quay are only 11 miles away and the cathedral city of Chichester lies 11 miles to the east. Sailing and boating is the predominant past time on Chichester Harbour whilst the countryside to the north has been designated as the South Downs National Park and includes the extensive Goodwood Estate.
