This substantial inter-war detached home offers true scale: roughly 2,573 sq ft across three floors, with high ceilings and many original period details. The house currently sits as two self-contained 2-bed flats and a planning application has been submitted to restore it to a single large family dwelling — an appealing prospect for buyers wanting one-off space close to the seafront.
The property benefits from a south-facing rear garden, garage, and off-street parking, plus excellent transport links to Worthing town centre and the train station. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern family life. Nearby schools include good-rated primaries and a secondary, making the location practical for children.
Important practical points: the house needs full modernisation throughout and has an EPC rating of D. Cavity walls appear uninsulated, and some external and garden maintenance is required. The area scores high for local crime and is described as very deprived, so buyers should factor security and refurbishment costs into their plans.
For an owner-occupier seeking a long-term family home, this property offers a rare canvas to create a generous, character-filled residence in a quiet close close to coastal amenities. Investors or developers should note the submitted planning application and the scope and cost of renovation before proceeding.
