Millwood is a landmark prime-residential development at Hermitage, Emsworth, with easy access to Chichester Harbour’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It comprises a special collection of eight design-led and luxurious new detached homes.
The setting
The setting and approach to Millwood is superb. A sweeping private drive through attractive mature trees leads to an impressive, gated entrance. You then pass the walled garden of a late-Georgian villa on one side and the hedge-lined boundary of a Grade II listed, 1700s farmhouse on the other.
Site overview
To suit the heritage-parkland setting, the architectural style is Georgian. Internally, every property at Millwood has light-filled and spacious interiors, where inside space connects seamlessly with outside space.
Tremendous care and thought have gone into the space planning and interior design at Millwood. As a result, each property offers not only perfect space for socialising with friends or family, but also a comfortable, private retreat in which to relax.
The site occupies a large area of land, so every property has a generous plot and good separation from other buildings. There’s ample private parking and well-sized garages for each property. Just inside the gates is additional visitor parking.

Discover the eight design-led and luxurious new detached homes
Plot 1
This is an attractive Georgian gatehouse with a walled south-facing garden and detached garage. A formal entrance flanked by tall sash windows gives the building period character. The internal layout is spacious, with just one large bedroom suite on each floor and a superb open-plan dining/living/study area all the way across the rear of the property.
Plot 2
A substantial Georgian town house, with an imposing frontage more than 25 meters wide. The property is oriented to enjoy both south- and west-facing private garden. The internal layout centres around an inviting entrance hall. A feature staircase with iron handrail rises through a full-height space to the galleried landing on the first floor. The open-plan kitchen/dining room is a lovely social space, with an orangery/family room on one side and access through pocket sliding doors to the formal living room on the other. A boot room links to the integral double garage and private staircase to the home office. Accommodation comprises four double bedrooms and four bathrooms arranged over two floors.
Plots 3, 4, 5
Architecturally, these three houses are designed with identical layouts and elevations. They are on generous plots of between 12 and 18 meters in width, with unusually large floor areas for three-bedroom properties and secluded west-facing gardens. A welcoming entrance hall leads to the open-plan kitchen/dining/living space, a utility room, a rather grand cloakroom and further access to the living room. On the first floor, a generous landing leads to three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each house has private parking for two cars and an attached garage with direct access into the house.
Plot 6
A backdrop of mature woodland provides the perfect setting for this charming red-brick, Georgian country house. Its frontage of more than 24m gives the property impressive scale, and a traditional metal veranda adds interest and character. French doors open onto the south-facing terrace and garden, providing an ideal setting for alfresco dining.

Plot 7
This is a quintessential flint cottage, in a style typical of the downland villages nearby. With the floor area of a larger house but only two bedrooms, the layout is spacious. From the entrance hall, a pocket-sliding door leads to a large private living room stretching the full width of the property; the rear wall is almost entirely glazed, with sliding doors onto a neat walled terrace and cottage garden beyond. The farmhouse kitchen is in keeping with the property’s character but has a contemporary aspect, with a modern Rangemaster cooker and Belfast sink. An additional pedestrian door links the kitchen directly to the private drive and garage.
Plot 8
This three-bedroom, detached house occupies a generous plot. It has an attached garage, plus a long private driveway with space for at least two cars. A traditional metal veranda adds interest to the imposing façade. Internally, the ground floor has a tremendously generous open-plan kitchen/dining/living space. Large sliding doors across the rear of the property reveal the private walled terrace and garden beyond.
