A house in Worthing built at the end of the reign of Queen Victoria has come onto the market for the first time.

Built by local builder and developer William Wenban Smith, the house is one of four in the terrace.

Internally it is like a time warp with some lovely original features. All the doors, door mouldings and skirting boards have the original painted wood grain effect which is in remarkable condition. There is an outside WC and one of the bedrooms still has evidence of wall-mounted gas light fittings.

As this house is at the end of the terrace it also has the additional benefit of a long driveway and wooden garage.

It requires complete refurbishment and modernisation but represents an exciting opportunity to transform it into a delightful home, close to a good parade of local shops and the seafront.

The property will be offered in Austin Gray’s next property auction on 16th April with a guide price of £175,000 - £185,000. For further information contact the auctioneers on 01270 201980.
