Renting in Goring-by-Sea

Goring-by-Sea sits at Worthing's western edge, with the parish church and village high street running west to east a couple of streets back from the seafront. The Greensward — a long ribbon of mown grass between the road and the beach — is the defining feature: locals walk dogs and cycle along it at all hours.

Housing is a mix of Edwardian and inter-war family homes, larger plots than central Worthing, with bigger gardens than you'd typically get for the money. Beach huts on the Greensward are oversubscribed and trade hands quietly. The high street has a Co-op, a couple of pubs, independent cafés, and the kind of butcher / fishmonger / deli line-up that's getting rarer elsewhere.

“Goring runs at a slower tempo than the town centre — that's the appeal.”

West Park CofE Primary and Goring CofE Primary are the local state choices, both with strong reputations. Worthing College (sixth form) is close. Our Lady of Sion (independent) is within easy reach for those considering private.

Families who want bigger gardens and quieter streets than central Worthing, retired downsizers who like coastal life, and remote-workers who don't need to commute every day. Goring runs at a slower tempo than the town centre — that's the appeal.
