Description
Freehold Development Opportunity – The Paddock, The Shire, Westbourne, Emsworth
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a freehold parcel of land extending to approximately 0.9 acres (0.36 hectares), located within the highly regarded residential setting of The Shire in Westbourne, near Emsworth.
The Paddock would be suitable for a variety of uses, including the potential for residential redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents. The land benefits from full services and established access rights, together with two separate points of access, offering flexibility in future site design and layout.
In addition to residential redevelopment potential, the size and setting of the plot may lend itself to equestrian use, including the provision of stabling and associated facilities, subject to the appropriate consents. The semi-rural character of the surrounding area and proximity to countryside bridleways make this an attractive prospect for purchasers seeking private equestrian accommodation.
The Shire itself is an established and desirable residential cul-de-sac of individual homes, built approximately 9 years ago and is now a well-established and sought after residential area.
Westbourne is a popular and well-connected village situated to the west of Emsworth and just north of the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village offers a range of local amenities including a convenience store, public houses, primary school, church and village hall, supporting a strong community environment. The nearby harbour town of Emsworth provides a wider selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and sailing facilities, together with a railway station offering direct services to Portsmouth, Chichester and London.
The location provides convenient access to the A27 and A3(M), facilitating onward travel to Portsmouth, Chichester, Guildford and London. The surrounding area is particularly attractive, combining semi-rural village character with proximity to the coast, countryside walks and highly regarded schooling in both the state and independent sectors.
This represents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial freehold site in a sought after village setting with residential and redevelopment potential, subject to planning.

Flood Risk
From Environment Agency long-term flood risk and flood map open data, checked around the advertised map pin and allowing for the listed acreage where known. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. This summary comes from LandSale, the advertising platform, not from the listing agent, and is not part of the agent's particulars. Risk can vary across a single holding, so verify anything critical through your own searches before committing.
