House For Sale £825,000
Winkworth Worthing is thrilled to present this spacious five-bedroom period home in the heart of Worthing, just minutes from the town’s main train station.
This Victorian semi-detached property boasts an impressive 2035 sq ft of classic period property with the bonus of two off-road parking spaces to the front.
On entry, you are welcomed by the desirable features that we all yearn for, high ceilings, stripped floorboards, plaster work, picture rail, decorative cornice, and beautiful fireplaces.
The ground floor comprises of two reception rooms, a large kitchen, a utility room, and a bathroom. The spacious front room has all the features including a marble fire surround with cast-iron insert highlighted by a vintage wallpaper on the chimney breast. Its large, sash double-glazed bay window ensures the room is light-filled and bright.
The second reception room is currently used as a study/office, but it could also be transformed back to a dining room as it would have been originally. Again, this room has been felicitously decorated with heritage paint and bold floral prints on the chimney breast.
The Kitchen opens up to the full width of the property which has a dual aspect. Its size and shape lend itself to being the perfect social and entertaining room. With more than enough storage, the units are finished with a black granite worktop and white ceramic sink. There is an undercounter integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher, and also has room for a large dining table and a double fronted American-style fridge-freezer. To the rear is the utility room with space for both a washing machine and dryer with a worktop above and a separate downstairs bathroom. There is also a very cosy open porch at the rear with a pitched glass roof to keep you snug on those rainy days.
The first floor has three double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate WC. The large master bedroom is to the front of the house being the whole width of the property, bursting with light from the double-glazed sash bay windows with fitted built-in wardrobes to one side with further room on either side of the fireplace for freestanding wardrobes or a chest of draws on the opposite side. This room as the others carries the period features including picture rail, cornice, stripped floorboards, fireplace and has its en suite with toilet and shower. Bedroom two is also a good double and the third on this floor is a smaller double. The family bathroom has a large walk-in shower as well as a spa bath and vanity sink.
The second floor comprises of two good-sized double bedrooms both with hand basins, great for guests. There is also access to the loft space which runs the whole width of the property and houses the preferred Worcester boiler. There is also a large linen cupboard at the top of the stairs.
The outside space to the rear consists of a mainly walled garden with a bricked patio area, which is full of low maintenance pots and planters. The highlight is a beautifully built large wooden cabana that could easily seat a dozen guests and has power for music and lighting! To the side of the house from the front is a garage which could take a small car, additional very handy store continues to the rear of the property.
Oxford Road is a 2-minute walk to Worthing Town Railway Station which has direct connections to London and beyond. Worthing seafront is a 14-minute walk with shops including Boots and Marks and Spencer’s on the way. The property is also moments away from the amenities of central Worthing with a plethora of independent shops, bars, and restaurants. The area is well served by great local bus routes including the 700 service which provides transport along the coast every 12 minutes. Oxford Road is in the catchment for many good schools including Worthing High, Lady of Sion and Bohunt as well as several children's nurseries.
