Summary - 9, School Yard BN11 1AS
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Characterful town-centre two-bed with dramatic high-ceiling living space.
Grade II listed conversion with striking Gothic arched windows
This two-bedroom maisonette occupies a converted Victorian Gothic chapel in the heart of Worthing, combining dramatic period features with generous, light-filled rooms. The first-floor lounge is the showpiece — high ceilings, arched Gothic windows and solid wood floors create a striking living space ideal for entertaining or home working. Two ground-floor double bedrooms both have vaulted ceilings, and the kitchen/diner is fitted with modern appliances for everyday convenience.
Practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with 125 years remaining and an annual service charge of around £1,000. It is Grade II listed, which preserves the building’s character but will restrict external and internal alterations. Heating is by electric room heaters, so consider running costs versus modern central heating if upgrading is planned.
Externally there’s a small paved courtyard garden and a gated communal entrance, offering privacy and low-maintenance outdoor space. The location is a major selling point — a short walk to Worthing town centre and the mainline station, with shops, cafés and amenities on the doorstep.
This home suits first-time buyers or professionals seeking a characterful, low-upkeep town-centre property with strong rental appeal. Internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the size, vaulted volumes and unique Gothic features, but budget for listed-building constraints and consider energy and security factors when assessing long-term running costs.
