Detached house for sale in Second Avenue, Worthing BN14

Step Inside

Dating back to circa 1932 this beautifully elegant Arts and Crafts home is thought to have been the first property built in the leafy environs of Second Avenue. Nestled within idyllic wrap-around gardens that offer private gated access to the adjoining Charmandean Open Space, today its leaded bay windows, picture rails and cornicing retain an immense degree of original charm and character.

Behind a picture perfect period facade with a canopied doorway the warm tones of a wood floor greet you in central entrance hall where the graceful curve of a traditional turning staircase is beautifully lit from above. All around you a spacious layout unfolds with a wealth of opportunity to relax and entertain. With natural light filtering in from south-facing leaded bay windows a duo of excellently sized reception rooms each have focal point period fireplaces. The double aspect sitting room blends heritage hues with the warmth of a working fire while across the hall an additional snug has a log burner within the chimney breast and a demi-glazed door to an impressive modern conservatory.

An inner hallway provides easy access to the gardens from the snug whilst also leading the way to a fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room with views of the garden and Charmandean. Traditional cabinetry with timber detailing and quartz countertops house two stainless steel sinks and an electric hob, while tower ovens sit within exposed brickwork that adds to the classic country kitchen feel. A cloakroom completes the ground floor and an additional attached home office has its own private entry and WC.

Upstairs the sense of space is echoed throughout four light filled bedrooms that generate an impressive measure of flexible family accommodation. With the delicate patterns of an accent wall and more of those charming bay windows and picture rails, a prodigious main bedroom has the added benefit of an abundance of eaves storage and a large en suite shower room. Equally impressive, the additional three rooms share a contemporary bathroom with a deluxe freestanding bath and conical basin. Stairs lead up from the admirably sized landing to a versatile loft room.

Step Outside

When you open up the French doors of the conservatory or step out from the second hallway you'll instantly experience the tranquillity of the large idyllic gardens that wrap-around this Roaring Twenties house. Established lawns are peppered with statuesque trees, a private gate gives direct access to the additional greenery of Charmandean and a duo of paved patios supply you with every chance to enjoy al fresco meals.

At the front of the property a brick herringbone patterned driveway combines with a superior carport and garage to provide ample private off-road parking.
