About this property

An impressive, five-bedroom character home with excellent storage and attractive, mature gardens, within easy reach of local amenities

Enjoying a very private position on the Charmandean Estate – one of Worthing’s best addresses, this detached house has Art Deco stylings and many character features. The individually designed home is well presented internally and has Crittle-style windows, original fireplaces, a magnificent wood-panelled entrance hall with a matching staircase and elegantly appointed interiors. Though the bathrooms have been updated and the house has been very well maintained, the décor is somewhat dated in places and as such the house presents a fantastic opportunity for full modernisation. The generously proportioned accommodation is arranged over two floors and has a choice of reception rooms, four double bedrooms and a single bedroom, and a huge array of storage options, from a walk-in pantry/utility off the kitchen to extensive storage space within the two larger bedrooms.

The layout and size of the house is well suited to growing families, with a versatile floor plan downstairs providing scope for a variety of uses. The inviting entrance hall, with its striking wood detailing, provides a welcoming first impression and leads to a formal dining room, a sitting room with adjoining family room/snug and a cloakroom with WC. The kitchen is large enough for a breakfast table and has a walk-in larder, utility room and a boiler room and wood store accessible to the side. Upstairs there are three large double bedrooms at the front of the house, a smaller double and a single bedroom to the rear, a shower room and a bathroom with separate WC.

Outside
The house has a spacious corner position well enclosed by mature greenery which makes the plot feel extremely private. The handsome Tudor Revival-style house is set back from the road behind a pretty front garden, with a pedestrian path leading to the front door and a gated driveway with space for two cars accessing the attached single garage. The gardens wrap around three sides of the house and are largely lawned, with established trees including fruiting apple varieties. Well-stocked beds enclose the house and plot and there is a walled terrace around the outside of the house with space for garden furniture.

Situation
First Avenue has a sought-after position between Hill Barn Golf Club and the plentiful amenities on the eastern edge of Worthing, including superstore shopping and a leisure centre. There are a number of schools locally including Bramber Primary school, Broadwater CoE, Lancing College Prep school, Sompting Abbotts, Worthing High School, St Andrews, Lancing College. The West Sussex area hosts various events including horseracing at Glorious Goodwood and motorsports taking place at Goodwood House and the Goodwood circuit. Worthing railway station (1.9 miles) has services to London Victoria via Brighton and Gatwick Airport (approx. 90 minutes) and the A27 provides access to Brighton to the east and Southampton to the west. To the north of Worthing is the South Downs National Park which provides miles of beautiful walks and cycle routes.
