Haus, Ashacre Lane, Worthing, West Sussex

The Old House is a late medieval open hall property with later Tudor period additions set within beautiful mature gardens in one of Worthing’s most desirable residential locations. Situated in the sought-after Salvington suburb, the current owners have extensively renovated this handsome Grade II listed home to create a sympathetic blend of historic charm and stylish living.

The attractive, cream-rendered elevations conceal an impressive interior rich in period detail, including exposed timber beams, original fireplaces and several original features that reflect the property’s heritage. Thoughtfully updated, the house offers an exceptional balance of character and contemporary comfort.

The ground floor provides four elegant reception rooms, each featuring stripped wooden floorboards and exposed beams. The principal reception room is particularly striking, centred around a magnificent inglenook fireplace. This flows through to the well-appointed main family lounge enjoying a fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove. The entrance hall and second lounge provide alternative living space currently utilised as a media room and home office.

To the rear is the stunning kitchen and dining area creating an ideal space for entertaining and everyday family life. The vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers enhances the sense of space, while sleek white cabinetry, glass worktops, integrated appliances, a central island and slate tiled flooring deliver a contemporary finish. A useful utility room and cellar provide additional storage.

The first floor comprises four beautifully presented double bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite with an open-plan spa-style shower area and washbasin. A spacious family bathroom features a roll-top iron bath, dual washbasins and a large separate shower. On the second floor, two further double bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family or guests.
