Let agreed
Tucked behind a mature plane tree on a peaceful residential street, this handsome 1930s semi-detached home is the kind of place you fall for the moment you step inside.
The house has kept the best of its period character throughout: original flooring underfoot, picture rails framing the rooms, and a beautiful original fireplace at its heart. Graceful curved bay windows — a signature of the era — flood the principal rooms with light, while double glazing throughout keeps everything warm and quiet.
Two generous reception rooms run through the ground floor as a wonderful through-lounge, connected by glazed doors so you can throw them open for entertaining or keep them cosy and separate. The rear reception opens onto the garden through French windows — a genuinely lovely spot to sit, work or simply watch the greenery.
At the back of the house, the generous family-sized kitchen and breakfast room is a real showpiece and, for many, will be the heart of the home. Wrapped in glazing that pours in natural light and opens straight out to the garden, it's fitted with a Britannia six-burner double range oven, a Quooker boiling-water tap, built-in microwave, integrated Neff fridge freezer, slimline Neff dishwasher and a classic Belfast sink — practical, characterful and made for family life.
There's flexible, family-friendly bathing too: a wet room on the ground floor, plus a shower room and a separate WC upstairs. Four well-proportioned bedrooms sit on the first floor, the master with a lovely bay window and all with leafy outlooks over the trees.
Outside, the generous south-facing garden stretches back in a long, mature sweep — beautifully stocked, with a lawn, deep planted borders, a greenhouse and plenty of room to roam. Being south-facing, it catches the sun all day, with shady corners to retreat to when it's warm. A separate outside utility room with power and plumbing, along with a garden shed and an integral garage, adds all the storage and practicality a busy household needs.
In the words of the current resident:
“This is such a lovely, easy house to live in — I moved in for three months in 2021, fell in love with it and have been here ever since. It feels safe, quiet and peaceful, cosy yet spacious. I particularly love the light, airy kitchen, and working in the back reception room with the French windows open is a joy — looking out at all the trees and greenery is so refreshing and calming. The garden is a wonderful suntrap, catching the sun all day, but has plenty of shady areas to sit in and stay cool.”
Warm, characterful and wonderfully easy to live in — a rare family home in one of Goring-by-Sea's most desirable pockets.

“We have been tenants with Phillip James since 2021 and honestly cannot fault them at all. We have run into minimal issues since being tenants and any problems we have encountered have been rectified within an excellent time frame. I feel more than comfortable going to them with any issues that may arise and have never had a negative experience. We are extremely happy where we live and would recommend Phillip James to anyone 😊”

Features
Floor plan
Goring-by-Sea is the green, slow-paced western edge of Worthing — wide streets, mature trees, a seafront greensward, and the village high street running parallel to the beach. Family-led, with strong schools and a station that gives Goring its own commuter identity.
Read the Goring-by-Sea guideThe Goring-by-Sea rental market is predominantly flat-led, with one- and two-bedroom properties making up the core of what's available and what lets. One-beds are sitting at around £950 a month and have been letting in roughly a fortnight — a steady pace for this time of year, as the post-summer relet cycle works through. Two-beds, typically £1,400 a month, are moving at a similar pace and represent the most active part of the market. Three-bedroom houses, around £1,700 a month, are taking about a month to find tenants — a little slower, but not unusual heading into autumn.
Studios have enough data to mention: around £850 a month, though the sample is small and they appear to be taking longer to let than the one- and two-bed stock. Larger properties are thin on the ground and we don't have enough clean data to say much useful about them.
For investors, gross yields on flats in Goring-by-Sea are running at around 7% at current sale prices, with terraced houses closer to 6%.
