A rare seafront end-of-terrace Victorian property with direct sea views and a balcony, positioned on a large plot in central Worthing. The house totals about 2,149 sq ft and combines substantial living space with commercial/annex flexibility — it has previously operated as a hotel and currently uses rooms as treatment spaces, making it immediately attractive to owner-occupiers running a small business or to investors seeking multiple income streams.
Key value drivers are the location, scale and scope for change. The property includes five bedrooms, four reception rooms, loft space and generous off-street parking to the front — uncommon for seafront plots. Structural form and period features are largely intact (bay windows, decorative trim) so conversion into self-contained flats, an annexe or mixed residential/commercial use is a realistic possibility subject to planning and building regulations.
Buyers should note material caveats: any conversion or change of use will require planning consent and statutory approvals; the property will likely need targeted refurbishment to modernise services and layout for flats or higher-yield uses. The surrounding area is classified as deprived with average local crime levels, which may affect tenant profiles and yields compared with neighbouring towns. On the positive side, mobile signal and broadband are strong and flood risk is low.
This is a high-potential, hands-on project for investors or entrepreneurial buyers who value seafront presence and sizeable internal area. Viewing is advised to assess condition, layout and the scope of planning-led redevelopment.
