Immersed in the optimistic spirit of 1960s architecture, this striking and iconic Deckhouse offers a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of modernist history.

Conceived by the visionary retired Rear Admiral Philip "Percy" Gick and brought to life by renowned architect Vernon Gibberd, the private estate draws structural inspiration from Californian and Hamptons beach house living.

Offered to the market with vacant possession and no onward chain, this raised timber-clad residence is a dream retreat for sailing enthusiasts, naturalists, or anyone seeking a unique waterside sanctuary.The home’s signature design features a clever layout elevated to the first floor on sturdy pilings, a structural masterstroke that maximizes both natural light and views across the landscape.

Entry is gained through a distinct ground-level vestibule, which houses a practical utility area before stairs rise to the main living quarters.The heart of the home is a beautifully bright, open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen area.

Large glazed doors blur the line between indoor comfort and the great outdoors, opening directly onto a private balcony-an incredible vantage point for an evening drink while soaking in the coastal atmosphere.

The accommodation is completed by two bedrooms and a centrally located shower room. Emsworth is a thriving and cosmopolitan harbour side town with a fine range of restaurants, pubs, cafes and shops.

Good communication links especially with Emsworth train station to Havant, which is on the mainline to London Waterloo.

The Coastliner bus route connects Portsmouth, Havant and Emsworth to Chichester and Brighton. Excellent road links to via A27 and A3(M).
