Description Little Orange Leaf: Emsworth

This enchanting home has more than a hint of the modern fairytale about it. Dating back to the regency period, you'll first notice the bright green wrought iron details and curved walls from the outside, and a grassy lawn that makes the perfect spot for a picnic on a sunny afternoon – jug of Pimms optional. Inside, the living room is decked out in soothing, neutral tones while the kitchen cabinets are a punchy emerald shade. However, the standout feature of this house has to be the magnificent orangery. Just as beautiful in the morning light as it is after dark, this glass room has a long table where you can gather for relaxed breakfasts and formal sit-down dinners. If you'd rather someone else did the cooking during your trip, then there are several options in Emsworth, from cosy pubs to cute cafés. Plus, you'll love strolling down to Emsworth Harbour to watch the boats bobbing in the water – and, if you're feeling brave, there's always the option to try out some water-sports too.
