This Grade II listed mid-terrace cottage sits in the heart of Shoreham town centre, offering compact but well-arranged accommodation over three floors. The ground floor has a generous open-plan living/dining room and an extended kitchen/breakfast area. Upstairs are a double bedroom and shower bathroom on the first floor, with the principal bedroom and ensuite on the second floor. The property is vacant and offered chain-free, so it is ready for an immediate move or let.
Outside, a small walled westerly-aspect garden and an outhouse/utility provide private outdoor space and storage — useful in a town-centre setting where street parking is limited. The house measures about 855 sq ft and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating, making it practical for year-round living.
Buyers should note the listing status: being Grade II listed will restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment or extension plans. The solid-brick walls are assumed to lack modern insulation, so some upgrading may be needed to improve thermal efficiency. The area records very high crime levels, which prospective purchasers should factor into their decision.
Overall this is a characterful cottage for someone who values a central, walkable location and period charm. It suits a first-time buyer seeking a compact family home or an investor targeting short-term lettings, with scope to modernise interiors within listed constraints.
