About this property

Substantial six-storey Regency townhouse overlooking attractive Liverpool Garden square, with the seafront and town centre essentially at the bottom of the road. Offering flexible accommodation, a good size first floor balcony, and a thoughtful blend of restored period detail with considered modern additions.

This substantial, bow-fronted, six-storey Regency townhouse forms part of one of Worthing’s most iconic and established, stucco-fronted avenues, historic Liverpool Terrace. Elevated to enjoy views over the mature oak trees of Liverpool Gardens just in front of it, the seafront promenade is just moments away, with the town centre and the newly improved Montague Place "piazza" literally at the bottom of the street.

Internally, a careful and sympathetic restoration has retained the house's period character, with modern additions, such as a hand-painted bespoke kitchen, new cast iron radiators and contemporary bathrooms, sitting seamlessly alongside. There are six floors of flexible and well-balanced accommodation. The main living spaces include a vast, front-to-back ground floor sitting room, with feature fireplace, tall sash windows with period shutters and original stripped wooden floors. Whilst one of the standout features of this house is upstairs on the first floor; the elegant, first floor piano nobile is given over to a wonderfully generous and sociable sitting and dining room open to the kitchen. The room boasts its own beautiful fireplace, impossibly tall skirtings, attractive period ceiling rose and stripped wooden floors, whilst the bow windows are truly celebrated with floor-to-ceiling windows which open onto a substantial balcony (ostensibly the largest on the terrace) offering views down the garden square to the seafront.

The graceful staircase with its anaglypta wallpaper and modern striped runner on the lower floors, gives way to fully carpeted treads and plain walls as it rises through the upper floors to five well-proportioned bedrooms, many with their own high ceilings, decorative ceiling mouldings and fireplaces. The bathrooms are all generous, contemporary and high end, styled to complement the period of the building.

The lower ground floor is another bonus, offering fantastically adaptable, additional accommodation. The larger front room is currently used as a studio space, but could make an excellent cinema room or guest accommodation. It used to have separate street access via a (recently removed) front staircase and door, which could be reinstated if desired. At the rear is a further room which could an ideal study or garden room, as it opens onto the courtyard garden, which enjoys afternoon light. There is also a generous utility room with fitted storage on this floor.

At the uppermost level, the property benefits from additional rooms set above neighbouring rooflines, providing separation from the main accommodation and offering potential for use as additional guest bedroom space.

A discreet fire suppression system has been installed to provide reassurance.
