Positioned within close proximity to Worthing Seafront, this impressive four-bedroom detached family home is a rare find. Originally built in the 1930s and occupying a generous double plot, the property offers an abundance of space, character and potential. While in need of some considerable modernisation, it provides the perfect opportunity to create a dream home tailored to personal tastes.
Upon entering, the welcoming hallway leads to a downstairs cloakroom. The expansive, front-to-back living room enjoys a dual aspect, with natural light flooding in through the south-facing rear bay window. A feature fireplace serves as a central focal point, while the wooden flooring adds warmth and charm. Adjoining this space, the dining room also benefits from a double aspect and ample room for a dining table and chairs, creating a perfect area for entertaining. A study area, illuminated by double doors to the garden, provides a peaceful retreat and direct access to the rear outdoor space.
The kitchen features a range of base and wall-level units, ample worktop space and various appliances, alongside three substantial storage cupboards, one of which is an airing cupboard, containing the hot water cylinder. Additionally, the home benefits from two utility areas, one of which leads to a former dark room but now houses the boiler and the other providing space for a secondary kitchen setup.
In the 1960s, the property was extended by a local doctor who transformed part of the home into a private workspace. This section now includes a small office, a WC and a room recently used as a library/games room, offering excellent potential for a home office, studio or even a ground-floor annex, with the possibility of a bedroom and ensuite using the existing WC.
Moving to the first floor, the master suite was extended over the garage in the late 1960s, resulting in a generous front-to-back bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a separate dressing room. The ensuite comprises a WC, wash basin, bidet and bath, while the adjacent dressing room benefits from built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom is a spacious double room fitted with a wash basin and a bay window overlooking the south-facing rear garden. The third bedroom, also a well-proportioned double with a small built in cupboard, provides access to an expansive balcony, perfect for enjoying outdoor space with elevated views. The fourth bedroom, while the smallest, has a generous built in wardrobe and wash basin and will still accommodate a double bed and bedroom furniture comfortably. The family bathroom includes a bath with an overhead shower attachment and a wash basin, with a separate WC conveniently located opposite.
A standout feature of the home is the expansive, boarded loft area, complete with a rear-facing window and ample eaves storage, all accessible via a pull-down ladder—ideal for conversion (STPP) or additional storage.
The south-facing rear garden is a true highlight, benefitting from its double plot and offering a beautifully maintained lawn, mature shrubs, and a paved seating area perfect for outdoor entertaining. A charming wooden summerhouse provides additional storage for garden furniture and tools and tucked around the side of the house is a lean-to greenhouse.
At the front, the property boasts off-street parking for two cars alongside two adjoining single garages. The front garden, laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs, enhances the home’s grand appeal.
With its generous proportions, desirable location, and immense potential, this wonderful family home offers a unique opportunity to create a truly exceptional residence by the sea.
