Aldsworth House is thought to date back to
before 1785 with later additions, sitting in the
middle of its own land it is approached through
electric gates onto a sweeping driveway. From
the house, there are stunning views across its
beautiful gardens, and farmland to the South
Downs beyond. Aldsworth House has the
advantage of being located only a few miles from
the popular waterfront of Emsworth.
Aldsworth House has wonderful character and
fabulous ceiling heights throughout, giving a
sense of grandeur on entry. The reception rooms
each have their own unique style, all with great
proportions, especially the dining room and
drawing room that both overlook the stunning
spring flower meadow. The kitchen/ breakfast
room is light and bright, with an electric aga,
and a mezzanine above the entrance, which
is currently used for storage. There are three
further reception rooms and a bedroom/study
towards the back of the house, as well as a
boot room and utility room, with an additional
bedroom above. The cellar and wine cellar are
accessed off the Reception hall, next to the
kitchen.
The sense of space continues on the first and
second floor, with the abundance of large
bedrooms, all fitted with original fireplaces
and many with far reaching views across the
landscaped gardens and paddocks beyond. The
first floor has a striking landing which leads to
the principal bedroom, study and three further
bedrooms, two bathrooms and two cloakrooms.
Four further bedrooms, with two bathrooms,
are found towards the south side of the house,
thought to be the original part of the house,
which are set over two floors.
To the north of Aldsworth house, you will find
the magnificent indoor pool, which is linked to
the main house by the garden room. The pool
house creates a beautiful architectural statement,
similar to an orangery, which encapsulates the
style of the property beautifully, and one’s eye is
drawn to this the moment you drive through the
electric gates.<br /><br />Aldsworth House has a plethora of original
outbuildings, including the beautiful Coach
House (with private road access), stables, stores,
engine house (with private road access) and
a fives court in the far paddock, all providing
outstanding and endless opportunities for
potential purchasers.
The 13 acres of land is formed of paddocks
and exquisitely maintained gardens, with many
zoned areas, including wildflower lawns, grass
tennis court, croquet lawn, vegetable gardens
and orchards. Most notably, the garden has been
opened for the annual ngs (National Garden
Scheme) for many years. The garden contains
very old fruit trees, peonies, roses, magnolias and
many unusual shrubs and trees. In the spring
time there are carpets of snowdrops, crocuses,
daffodils, bluebells and fritillaries.<br /><br />Aldsworth House is located in the small hamlet
of Aldsworth, close to the coastal town of
Emsworth and seven miles west of the historic
cathedral city of Chichester. The property sits
within the stunning South Downs National Park
and within easy reach of the Chichester Harbour
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, but also
benefits from good transport connections,
including easy access to the A3(m) via the
A27, and a superb rail service from Havant
into London. The surrounding villages have
an abundance of pleasant country pubs, while
there are local amenities including shops and a
small supermarket in Emsworth. Nearby schools
include Westbourne Primary School and for
secondary, Bourne Community College, while
Chichester has several renowned independent
schools. Further amenities and an excellent
choice of shopping and leisure facilities can be
found in Chichester as well as the renowned
Festival Theatre. Goodwood is within easy reach
and is well know for its racing, Revival Meeting
and Festival of Speed. There is also excellent
sailing in the area as well as swimming on the
popular beaches of West Wittering.
