Island of Dreams is a hit for Colin’s clients

Living on an island – it’s the dream of many that’s maybe helped BBC’s Desert Island Discs remain so popular over the years.

But desert island life is hardly practical unless you are also wealthy enough to afford your own regular access links and supplies of essentials. Far better to opt for an island with the vital life support of shops and transport links as well as a selection of luxury homes that save you trying to fashion some sort of shelter out of palm leaves.

An expert on the topic is Colin Shairp, of Fine and Country Southern Hampshire, whose agency has sold half of the homes priced above £700,000 that have sold on Hayling Island this year.

“Hayling has long been regarded as a perfect escape – linked to the mainland but possessing every facility necessary for an easy life,” explains Colin. “Land Registry figures show that in 2017, up to the week before Christmas, there were eight residential property sales above the £700,000 mark and of those half found their new owners through my Fine and Country office in Emsworth, managed by Anne-Marie Green who has vast experience in the luxury residential property market.

“These homes had a total value of £5.741 million, with the most expensive selling in North Shore for £2 million while a property called Pine Lodge achieved £725,000. In between were The Willows at £1.2 million and The Manor House at £1.34 million and we also sold a property called Westbourne House at £476,000. Add that to the Fine and Country total and our sales totalled almost £6.2 million on Hayling.

“Fine and Country is about houses in the top 25 per cent for either price or appeal so we don’t claim to be big sellers of ordinary houses on the Island. The properties we have handled are precisely the ones that deliver on the dream idea because they combine character, luxury, space, and location in the perfect proportions.

“Living on Hayling doesn’t mean entering some sort of retirement haven. True, many buyers want to go there to enjoy a more relaxed life surrounded by the smell of the sea and with wildlife havens abounding. But at the same time, Havant is a short hop from the island, with its mainline links to London and along the south coast, while the A27, M27, and A3M provide good road access north, east, and west. Sailing or windsurfing, first dreamed up on Hayling, are for those heading south!”

Love ran true – and it can for you, too

Love ran deep at West Wittering 45 years ago – and now it could do the same for you.

Back then, the current owners of a house in Elms Ride were so impressed by the scheme for a new house that they bought it off-plan. That they found perfection in the village is hardly surprising. Elms Ride is a turning off Royce Way, named after Sir Henry Royce, the perfectionist engineer who founded Rolls-Royce, who lived in the village until his death in 1933.

The house in question was named Lovran – the Croation town of that name had been their honeymoon destination - and there are plenty of reasons for the next owners to want to fall in love with it, not least among them the bright, airy interior that floods with natural light.

A feeling of tranquillity and security is what first attracted the original buyers. Properties in the vicinity enjoy open-fronted access, allowing for a relaxed and less hemmed-in environment than those behind fencing, hedging, or walls. But there is a distinctive feature marking arrival at the property in the form of a manicured purple beech tree at the entrance of the drive which leads to a detached double garage block.

West Wittering itself is virtually at the tip of the Manhood Peninsula that forms the eastern shore of Chichester Harbour, renowned for its wildlife. The village’s sandy beach, famed for its clean water, is a short walk from the house and is another good reason for people who love the outdoors to want to live at the property.

Although modern, the house has good, mainly symmetrical, style with varying window sizes preventing a totally uniform appearance. Set behind those windows on the ground floor are a dining room to the left and a long sitting room to the right which stretches back 27 feet front to back, where a door opens into the conservatory that is also accessed through an arch in the kitchen.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobe space, and the master with an en-suite bathroom. The other three are a served by a bathroom that also has a corner shower cubicle.

There is a pretty and west-facing walled garden with a patio adjacent to the rear of the house, accessed from the conservatory, and a further raised patio in the corner, offering the opportunity to enjoy further sunshine or a more shaded site. The central lawn features two apple trees and well-planted surrounding flower and shrub borders providing colour and interest throughout the seasons that can be enjoyed from the a useful summer house / garden shed.

West Wittering is just 6.5 miles south of Chichester and has a primary school, church, cricket club, public house and, of course, its Blue Flag award beach with a wind and kite surfing club and beach café. Local amenities include a general store, family-run butcher / deli, and a selection of specialist stores.

Guide price is £870,000 (EPC Band E). For more information, contact Fine and Country Emsworth on 01243 487969 or email [email protected]

I am always really busy this time of year, delivering joy to everyone, but who cares about me?
I just moved kennel (downsizing) and the agent I bought through was shocking, they didn't give me a water bowl, they gave me the wrong lead.......the former owners took the blankets.
Just as well I SOLD through Fine & Country, at least they looked after me, I got the best price for my mansion and a lovely moving present (biscuits).
All my dreams came true............remember NOT ALL ESTATE AGENTS ARE THE SAME.

Is it nearly Christmas yet?
I can't wait......I need a new dry nappy.

First impressions count.
The first seconds upon arriving at a property really impact the buyer’s decisions, so make sure it looks well maintained and cared for from the outside, with windows and walls freshly washed to remove any dirt brought by the winter weather. Clear the path of leaves and make sure there isn’t any ice around which could cause potential buyers to slip.

Be flexible.
With less daylight hours available for potential buyers to view your house, you should be as flexible as possible with viewings, so prospective buyers can see it when it’s convenient for them. Your estate agent should help you work around these tricky daylight hours.

A warm welcome.
Making sure a home is warm and well-lit can encourage potential buyers to stay longer and help them to envisage themselves living the property – especially during the winter. Additions such as welcoming garden lights to enhance the entrance to your home can appeal to buyers’ imaginations. If you have a gas fireplace or a clean woodstove, light a fire to welcome visitors and create a warm and cosy ambience. If your home's wood-burning fireplace leaves a smoky smell in the room, hold off.

Feeling festive.
You should decorate for the Christmas period but don’t go overboard; a house that is over cluttered with Christmas décor can deter buyers. They should be able to envisage themselves living in your home, so it pays to make it as inviting as possible. A few festive fairy lights, cinnamon scented candles and a decorated Christmas tree can enhance a homely feel and paint a positive picture for potential buyers.

Garden space and showcasing all season.
An unkempt garden can detract buyers, as it looks like lots of work needs to be done. It’s worth spending a few hours trimming bushes, mowing the lawn, and removing fallen leaves and dead plants to make a tidy outdoor space. It is also a good idea to trim back overhanging branches, to prevent any from blocking the windows as you want to encourage as much light into the property as possible. Increased rainfall over the winter months take its toll on guttering too, make sure they are well maintained and clear of any debris and fallen leaves, as leaky gutters and pipes cause damage and are unappealing. Viewings on dark winter nights fail to show the potential of your garden, so have photos available to show potential buyers what the property looks like during warmer weather too.

Tackle the DIY jobs you have been putting off.
Make sure all the small maintenance jobs have been finished before you put your home on the market – such as fixing leaky taps or painting over cracks on the walls. Despite the fact you might not notice it, potential buyers will and fresh internal décor and paintwork goes a long way.

Winter break.
If you are planning to jet off for a winter break, don’t forget to leave the heating on at a low temperature (minimum of 15°c) to prevent the pipes from freezing. If you are away for a long period and don’t want to keep the heating on 24/7, set it on a timer. This will ensure there are no problems upon your return to be dealt with before showing your home to prospective buyers.

Enticing enclave just yards from the sea

Tucked away on Southsea Seafront is an enticing enclave of mid-20th Century detached houses.

The properties, in St. Helens Close, are all distinctive, detached, and substantial and just perfect for those who love a stroll in the sea air as often as they can.

One of the homes is now for sale through Fine and Country Southern Hampshire, where director Colin Shairp points out that the house is one of the few with a south-westerly facing rear garden, making it a perfect place to relax on a warm sunny evening after a hard day at work or frolicking on the beach!

“Southsea is blessed with many fine houses, many of which have been sold through Fine and Country Southern Hampshire over the last few years,” says Colin. “This house stands out because it’s much later than the usual Victorian and Edwardian offerings and it’s almost as close as it’s possible to be to the sea itself.

“Cross St Helens Parade at the bottom of the road, stroll past Canoe Lake, and you are on the Esplanade with the choice of heading west towards the pier or east towards the old Royal Marine Barracks at Eastney. What a marvellous dilemma to have!

“On stay at home days, the house is equally as inviting as its surroundings. The sitting room is set behind a large square bay window and opens through a curved arch at the rear into the dining room. At the rear of the house, alongside the dining room, is the impressive kitchen, which also has dining space.

“Both the kitchen and dining room have French doors onto the rear terrace, with those in the dining room sheltered by being slightly recessed into the rear wall of the house. The terrace has an interesting circular paving pattern to mirror the circular artificial lawn with paved edges alongside. Shrubs and climbers add to the atmosphere of this skilfully landscaped area.

“Upstairs there are four bedrooms, all with wardrobes, and a family bathroom while the master bedroom also has an en-suite with a large walk-in shower cubicle.

“The house is set back behind a paved drive leading to the attached garage – off-road parking is a valuable feature in this part of Southsea.

“The property is also close to the major shopping and commercial centres of Portsmouth and Southsea as well as schools and commuter routes.”

Guide price is £970,000 (EPC Band D). For more information, contact Fine and Country Southern Hampshire on 023 93 277 277 or email [email protected]

Property pundit forecasts redundancies and closures as pain in London market goes on

Buying agent and property pundit Henry Pryor has predicted “significant” redundancies and branch closures in the London market. He said many agents are “on their knees”.

Separately, in a gloomy report, a central London agent has said that the Government will have to address the woes of the housing market in the capital.

Peter Wetherell, of Mayfair agent Wetherell, said that the luxury market is currently dogged by “hesitation and anxiety”.

He said asking prices in London are already down by over 3% this year, and are 15% lower than three years ago.

Asking prices are being cut as Stamp Duty increases take their toll. He cited the case of a property previously on at over £1m which has had its asking price slashed by 50%.

This is a property in South Kensington first advertised in May at over £1.2m and now on the market at £685,000 with Foxtons.

Wetherell said that transactions are down and the number of homes taken off the market because they have failed to sell has grown.

However, he said the economic uncertainty is currently creating “rare opportunities” for buyers, but added that they needed encouragement.

Wetherell said: “Uncertainty and loss of market share due to Brexit will place the Government under huge pressure to cut corporation tax, cut income tax and slash Stamp Duty.

“All these measures will be needed to keep London competitive so bold investors could now reap future rewards.”

Yesterday, Pryor tweeted: “We’re going to see some significant redundancies and some well known brands closing down in London at this rate.”

Pryor told EYE: “Many agents I speak to are on their knees.

“There is a market but it’s not big enough to support the number of mouths that need to be fed. It’s pretty bleak for many.”

And the good news is that we are not suffering the disasters of an overly inflated London market, but don't dismiss the implications of a difficult London market, it does have it's knock on effect on our market in the south.

Perfect country house for city-dwelling village people

Bedhampton is quite literally a place of contrasts having expanded over the years at the south eastern tip of Portsdown Hill.

At its heart is the old village which still retains that essential feel that only genuine old buildings, meandering lanes, and well-tended hedges can deliver.

Among the most special properties is The Orchard, ripe for the picking straight away for potential owners who desire period excellence combined with modern essentials.

The house, in Lower Road, was built in the 1930s and still sits among mature gardens in grounds of around two thirds of an acre that embrace manicured lawns, long-established trees, a stream, and a heated outdoor pool.

It has been sympathetically extended by the current owners and offers comfortably spacious accommodation that mirrors the design of the original house.

“It’s very much a gem of its time,” explains Colin Shairp, of Fine and Country Southern Hampshire. “There’s a real charm to both the house and its grounds bringing the feel a country gentleman’s property of a certain era but combined with all that comes from living within a wider urban area.

“So good schools, transport links, and commercial centres make it a very convenient house yet once inside The Orchard’s grounds you feel you have escaped to another world.

“There’s a grand reception hall with double doors to a magnificent drawing room but the inner hall then gives access to the more intimate areas of the house – the orangery, formal dining room with a bay overlooking the magnificent lawn, and a study. The kitchen / breakfast room is at the front, the traditional place when The Orchards was built although it looks nothing like the original now we are in the world of integrated appliances. The wine store would have been a good idea back then, though, but wouldn’t have had the wine fridge!

“The first floor is home to a very impressive master suite, where there is a luxurious en-suite wet room. Four further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with both bath and shower and there’s also a separate cloakroom plus a utility room / laundry.

“The gardens are sheer delight – one can almost imagine croquet parties on the lawn and lounging on the poolside terrace or taking advantage of the summer house on a scorching day. A bridge leads over the stream to the kitchen garden area and there are plenty of places to find shade as well as the terrace behind the house on which to bask.”

Guide price is £1.1 million (EPC Band E). For more information, contact Fine and Country Southern Hampshire on 023 93 277 277 or email [email protected]

Where better to see history in the making float past!

Portsmouth awaits the arrival of HMS Queen Elizabeth, the huge new aircraft carrier joining the fleet, with baited breath.

And there’s hardly a better place to see it while avoiding the crowds than a house in Old Portsmouth that’s now on the market and very much reflects what’s happened in the immediate locale.

For this modern family home’s arrival on the street scene at Merchants Row, White Hart Road, matches that of Ben Ainslie Racing on the neighbouring Camber Dock and the new carrier’s first visit to its new home, bringing the present day very much to the fore, but in the best possible way, to an area steeped in maritime history.

And while the house perfectly suits the busy weekday life of modern families, at weekends it can equally fulfil the role of harbour village home thanks to the presence of the Camber Dock and the ability, if you wish, to walk down to the Dock and see what’s tempting in the catch still being off-loaded from traditional fishing vessels.

“The house has been designed to make the most of its position, with a first floor sitting room and a roof terrace accessed from the fourth bedroom at the top of the house, from which there are outstanding views across the Harbour entrance towards Gosport,” says Colin Shairp, of Fine and Country Southern Hampshire.

“Whatever passes in or out of the Harbour is visible, whether or not it’s the size of HMS Queen Elizabeth, so there’s always something going on to inspire a day dream or two of exotic places when it’s time to relax.

“Equally, when it’s time to be busy there are the excellent shops at nearby Gunwharf Quays and just beyond that the Harbour Station with its mainline trains out of the city in all directions.

“Living here would make far more sense for a family than being holed up in London’s ultra-expensive Docklands, where there might be boats bobbing but there’s no instant access to the open sea, the extensive Hampshire countryside, or even the fish sellers on the quayside – or probably not those who actually brought it ashore and can speak for its provenance!

“The house has a kitchen / dining room on the ground floor that opens into a conservatory with French windows into a compact rear garden that still has space for seating areas, a lawn, and shrubs. On the first floor, the sitting room at the front has a balcony beyond French windows while at the rear are the second bedroom, with en-suite shower, and a study.

“The second floor is home to the master and third bedrooms and at this level there’s also a family bathroom with direct access from the master bedroom. The third floor has the fourth bedroom, which many people would probably prefer to use as a living space, where French windows open onto the terrace with its breath-taking views.

“The property also has much-valued off-road parking in front of the garage, which has a storage space behind its up and over door with the rear made into a utility space.”

Guide price is £795,000 (EPC Band D). For more information, contact Fine and Country Southern Hampshire on 023 93 277 277 or email [email protected]

History shows that Bosham is the place to be!

Opportunities in the property market may appear legion when surveying the online portals but genuinely interesting homes are few and far between.

However, a home that can’t fail to impress is Critchfield House in the village of Bosham, set beside Chichester Harbour and so appealing that he harbour is a long-favoured backdrop for photographers.

Fortunately, Critchfield House itself offers a great degree of privacy, set a short distance from the harbour in the village centre and well screened from the road.

Work during the 1980s revealed evidence of Roman occupation on the site of the house while Saxon stones that were also uncovered could indicate that the foundations were from an early monastery that stood on the site.

But even without hidden evidence, there’s enough about the current 17th Century house to offer far more than just visual interest, although the site of an oriel window on the side of the first floor plus a bay window on a rear corner that appears to be conjoined oriel windows will certainly arouse curiosity among passers-by.

When it was built, there’s no doubt that the occupants appreciated a good level of comfort, reckons Anne-Marie green, of Fine and Country in Emsworth. They also had an appreciable eye for style that will draw appreciation from 21st Century observers, too.

“This truly is a stunning house, modern in all the places it needs to be but brimming with character everywhere else,” adds Anne-Marie.

“It’s perfectly placed for those who want a luxury house in a prime location – a description that has obviously applied to this area for the last 2,000 years at least!

“Even approaching the house is fascinating with a brick arched doorway off Viking Way, another link to a historical past, perhaps, although the main entrance is via a five bar gate. The house has extensive living space in the traditional way with separate rooms although these can all interlink to present a contemporary open plan approach to using the space.

“Four bedrooms on the first floor, all generous in proportion and the master with an en-suite and the fourth, again en-suite, approached via its own stairway from the main hall, make this a real family home. There’s a further fifth bedroom on the ground floor with en-suite bathroom and adjacent utility that could become a kitchen if this area were to be divided into an annexe. Both this area and the access to the fourth bedroom can be entered directly from the courtyard, creating a potential letting opportunity to produce additional income.

“The grounds are fully enclosed with a choice of terraces on all sides, offering the opportunity to follow the sun or shade. Mature landscaping provides the keen gardener ample opportunity to while away their days. The courtyard garden, which can be accessed from the drawing room, has a large raised koi carp pond.”

The price is available on application (EPC Band D). For more information, contact Fine and Country Emsworth on 01243 487969 or email [email protected]

Goodwood enthusiasts en-route to fantastic opportunity

Enthusiasts heading for the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend could also be en-route to a fantastic opportunity virtually at the gates of the venue they love.

In fact they wouldn’t even have to cross the road to walk the few yards from Halnaker Cottage to the grounds of Goodwood House, which has become a modern day mecca for car enthusiasts in love with the very latest hardware or the classics that feature in the late summer Revival event.

“This is one of the most unusual opportunities Goodwood fans are every likely to get,” says Anne-Marie Green, of Fine and Country in Emsworth.

“On the one hand they have a chance to live on the doorstep of Goodwood and on the other they have a substantial five bedroom home dating back to the 17th Century that is not listed, which should help smooth the path when applying for permission to renovate or alter the building.

“Even better, this property within what’s regarded as the Golden Mile from Goodwood has a separate self-contained annexe in the garden, a summerhouse big enough to house a grand piano without impinging on the space, and a range of barns that might open opportunities for other income.

“If all that’s making you feel a little overheated, there’s a pool terrace in the delightful walled garden at the rear to take a cooling dip while weighing up the options!

“This property has long had an association with transport. It’s believed to have been a staging post inn on the London, Portsmouth, Southampton route and when Queen Elizabeth 1 visited the now-ruined Halnaker House the cottage was noted then as accommodation for the staff and stockman.

“As well as all the opportunities, the cottage, really a large house, has all the extras essential for country life including a local primary school, a popular pub, and a local shop in the adjacent and delightful village of Boxgrove. The Tinwood vineyard is just opposite the house, giving a very continental outlook, and there’s access for walking across the fields.

“Literally just across the road is the Anglesey Arms, with many regular and annual events plus a reputation for serving fine food with a menu based around organic produce from the Goodwood Estate and seafood landed at Selsey.

“Goodwood Estate offers golf and horse racing as well as its motoring events while Chichester with its Festival Theatre, cathedral, and fantastic shopping and restaurants is only four miles away.”

The guide price is available on application (EPC Band G main house, Band E for the annexe). For more information, contact Fine and Country Emsworth on 01243 487969 or email [email protected]

Equestrian property where it’s a shoe-in for humans, too

Keen equestrians would rather neglect their own comforts than compromise on facilities for their animals.

But there’s no need for such choices at Kenners, a Denmead property that looks after horses and humans with equal aplomb. Set in 3.2 acres of grounds, this detached five bedroom house has stabling, suitably horseshoe-shaped, naturally, for five horses, a hay store, sand school, tack room, and wash room.

Naturally, a property such as this demands good riding country round about and with many quiet lanes leading into the South Downs National Park starting quite literally at the end of the road to stretch west to Wi******er and east to Eastbourne there’s no shortage of opportunities for happy hacking on a lazy afternoon.

With stabling just across from the house and paddocks adjoining the lawned garden it really is a property where keen equestrians can feel happy yet at the same time for family members who might need to commute there’s also access to major routes at a convenient distance.

At the same time, Denmead itself is a village well blessed with a good sized Co-op, along with a baker’s, greengrocer’s, bank, health and beauty salon, chiropodist, and hardware store. The village also has four pubs and schooling is provided by the well regarded Denmead Infant and Juniors Schools.

As well as the five bedrooms, the house has two bathrooms and a shower room on the first floor with three reception areas, utility room, cloakroom and 20 ft kitchen / breakfast room on the ground floor.

“Kenners is a striking house with mellowed red brick walls and four dormers each to the front and rear giving it an eye-pleasing appearance,” says Colin Shairp, of Fine and Country Southern Hampshire.

“The sitting room is enhanced by two oriel windows looking out onto the drive and sand school – the drive itself sweeps in past the front of the house, along the side and then to the rear and the stable block with further garaging.

“The rest of the ground floor living space interconnects with a large family room forming the link between the super kitchen / breakfast room and the more formal dining room, where French windows set in a bay open onto the paved terrace. There are further French windows in the sitting room and sliding patio doors in the breakfast area to take full advantage of the westerly orientation.”

Guide price is £1 million (EPC Band D). For more information, contact Fine and Country Southern Hampshire on 023 93 277 277 or email [email protected]

Bedhampton – perfect for city-dwelling village people

Bedhampton is quite literally a place of contrasts – these are perfectly illustrated by estate agent Colin Shairp’s choice of three properties below.

On the market right now is one of the oldest buildings in the conservation area in Old Bedhampton, where there’s still a real village feel to the community. The Manor House is Grade II-listed and set in an acre of grounds so has true 16th Century style.

Absolutely at the other end of the scale is Soldeu, a property on the Dabid Wilson Homes One Eight Zero development that’s perfectly placed for people leading busy lives as it’s got ready access to the junction of the A3M with the A27 south coast arterial route.

As Bedhampton has grown over the years at the point where Portsdown Hill descends to meet Havant, it has needed new facilities. Back in Victorian times, a new school was built on the corner of Kingscroft Lane but modern educational needs demanded something different. Now the school has been repurposed as four different dwellings.

“It would be hard to find three other properties that more accurately portray what has happened to Bedhampton over the years,” says Colin, director of Fine and Country Southern Hampshire and Town and Country Southern estate agencies, both based in the same office in nearby Havant Road, Drayton.

“Bedhampton is a superb place to live, with many of the homes enjoying a wonderful outlook across Langstone Harbour and its nature reserve. City dwellers who want to escape to live in an area with a village feel while not moving too far away will find Bedhampton the perfect solution.

“Busy lives are well served here because it’s so easy to access rail and road commuting routes yet when you get home you can switch off and relax.

“Prices also mean you can enjoy the area’s appeal without a huge financial hit – by current standards, home values in Bedhampton are very competitive when you add what the area brings to your life into the mix.

“The area is a personal favourite because homes here are in constant demand and meet a ready market when sensibly priced. Buyers with a budget of £350,000 should find something to suit while at the top end you don’t need a millionaire budget to buy one of Bedhampton’s biggest slices of history, as my selection proves!”
