Elm Road, Worthing

This gorgeous bay-fronted Victorian house is situated in a hidden oasis in the heart of Worthing, a short stroll from the seafront, local cafés, and independent shops. Inside, period features and stunning marble fireplaces are complimented by modern touches, creating the perfect balance of styles.

This house has great curb appeal, with a front garden evocative of the beach less than 300 metres away, enclosed by traditional flint walls with a classic period tiled pathway leading to the front door.

Downstairs

Beyond the tiled porch, a bright hallway and high ceilings open directly into a large kitchen, creating a spaciousness rarely found in Victorian homes. 

To the right, two original reception rooms now flow into one bright, peaceful lounge, anchored by a marble fireplace and a south-facing bay window to the front. The cosier rear space opens directly to the courtyard garden, creating a perfectly versatile living area. 

The hallway opens out under the stairs providing useful coat and shoe storage, and leads on into the large, open plan dual-aspect kitchen and dining room. 

This sleek kitchen features generous marble work surfaces, marble flooring and a dedicated dining area. With windows on two sides and bright décor, this room is flooded with natural light. 

Large double doors lead out from the kitchen into the oasis that is the walled courtyard garden. This gorgeous space is a real sun trap and has been cleverly curated to create a perfect space to entertain or relax. 

Upstairs

Upstairs, the wide original staircase leads to three proper double bedrooms. The second and third bedrooms overlook the courtyard garden, with the second bedroom also benefitting from a tall built-in wardrobe. Half way along the generous upstairs hallway is the large bathroom, which feels like a private retreat with marble flooring and tiling and underfloor heating. The bathroom is fitted with both a large walk-in shower and a separate bathtub. 

The large main bedroom at the front of the property catches the best of the southern sun. This room features two built-in wardrobes, high ceilings and feels like a true escape. 

The house also has loft access that spans the entire footprint of the property.
