Property description
Enjoy glorious views from the sea to the downs, on the towering roof terrace, of this stylish three bedroom four level Regency townhouse. Built at the end of the reign of George IV, this grade II listed building has been extensively renovated to an exceptional standard. A rare and charming period property.
Description
Imposing and regal, this four level townhouse towers over Worthing town centre, affording glorious views from the sea to the downs. Brimming with history, Georgian architectural influences are evident in the symmetry of the facades, box sash windows and iron railings, yet the formality is tempered by the Regency influenced bow fronts making the building come alive in a wave. Internally the rooms are large high ceilinged spaces, bright and airy with their multitude of windows. Decorative feature fireplaces add authenticity. Modern yet traditional, this beautiful townhouse is quite unique.
Condition
This incredible property has been extensively renovated both structurally and internally. The roof has been replaced, walls and balcony strengthened and all necessary structural work undertaken. Internally, the original coving has been repaired and replaced to original standards. Solid wood floors have been fitted throughout. The ultra modern, yet stylish kitchen, has been fitted with every modern convenience. Naturally, being grade II listed, there are some limits imposed regarding the exterior, particularly with regard to windows, which are single glazed to preserve aesthetics. Yet, the building is so well insulated, kept warm by the neighbouring terraces and protected from the sea breeze by its position, that it is extremely warm and cosy and requires minimal use of the heating system in winter.
