Summary - 3 ST RAPHAEL ROAD WORTHING BN11 5HL
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Large detached home on private road — significant refurbishment potential.
Large detached house with four bedrooms and substantial 2,199 sqft footprint
Set well back on a private road, this substantial four-bedroom detached house offers generous, characterful living space across multiple levels and a large plot with off-street parking and a double-length garage. The property retains period features — high ceilings, bay windows and ornate cornicing — and includes a west-facing balcony from the master bedroom and a sunroom overlooking an enclosed courtyard garden. Split-level bedroom layouts and a separate study/artist’s studio add versatile room configurations for a growing family or home office needs.
The house is sold in need of complete renovation. Key wet rooms require attention: the family bathroom currently has no bath and the separate WC needs refurbishment. The former leisure/spa area (jacuzzi-style bath, shower and sauna) and kitchen/breakfast room present clear scope for modernisation and extension of living space, while internal layouts could be reconfigured to suit contemporary family life. Buyers should allow a full renovation budget.
Practical advantages include mains gas central heating, mostly modern double glazing, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote work. There is no flood risk and the property sits in an affluent area with good local schools and convenient amenities. Note the location records above-average crime and a council tax band above average, factors to weigh alongside the home’s strong size and potential.
This is a rare chance to transform a distinctive, large detached home on a private road into a comfortable family residence or a high-value refurbished property. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, split-level rooms and development potential on offer.
