5 Bedroom Detached House, Oxford Road, Worthing, BN11

Tucked away in a quiet yet central location, this 5-bedroom detached Victorian house showcases the perfect combination of modern comfort and period charm.

A leafy front garden leads you to the large original front door, which opens into an entrance porch with original floor tiles. The porch leads into a wide hallway offering views through to the bright kitchen to the back of the property, and the large reception rooms to the right.

Family and Entertaining Space

Two large reception rooms, both with their own entrances and which can be separated by internal folding doors, benefit from having been painstakingly renovated over the years where needed, with every consideration paid to maintaining original features.

The front reception room is flooded with light from the large sash bay window and southerly facing side sash window. The second reception room, which is also used as a dining room, opens directly onto a large patio space which leads round to the garden. With high ceilings, plenty of original features and two working fireplaces, one gas and one coal, this set of rooms offers a truly special setting for both family time and entertaining.

Modern Kitchen, Cellar and Sunroom

Continuing along the wide hallway towards the back of the property you enter the kitchen dining room. This space offers a bright hub of the home with pale marble countertops, light grey units and a southerly aspect. A carefully thought-through space, the kitchen, hand-built by Woodstock, features a large island with plenty of work and storage space, including a convenient appliance garage to keep worktops free of toasters, kettles etc. A highlight of this kitchen is the original Everhot range cooker, bringing a slice of country living to this gorgeous home.

Stairs from the kitchen lead down to a large cellar, providing fantastic additional storage space.

The kitchen leads into a unique sunroom/boot room with a downstairs WC. This is a fabulous feature and offers character and practicality, particularly for muddy boots, sandy shoes, or for after beach walks with the dog.

The third bedroom is currently used as a casual living room, and features a truly stunning window seat with integrated storage, overlooking the back garden. This room also benefits from two further built-in cuboards.
