Description

This Grade II listed Georgian townhouse, dating from around 1830, provides six bedrooms across three floors and approximately 152 sq m of accommodation. The current owners describe a restoration that brought the main house back into use after it had been divided into two flats, retaining period features while adding a contemporary kitchen and living space. The ground floor includes a kitchen and dining area, lounge, utility room, shower room, snug and a bedroom. The kitchen and living area is described as approximately 30 sq m, with bifold doors opening onto a private courtyard. On the first floor are two bedrooms and a family bathroom, including a principal bedroom with dressing room. Three further bedrooms occupy the second floor. Outside, the listing describes a garden, separate patio areas, off-street parking and a roof terrace measuring approximately 13 ft 6 in by 11 ft 9 in. The terrace is stated to have planning permission for a glass balustrade, which is not currently installed. The property is close to Shoreham town centre and approximately one third of a mile from Shoreham mainline station. Its listed status and the reported restoration works are relevant considerations for any future alterations or maintenance.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a distinctive Georgian project, but the photos suggest the work is more about personalising and refining a restored home than taking on a major renovation. Period character, a substantial six-bedroom layout, the modern kitchen/living space and the garden, courtyard and roof terrace give it plenty to work with. The terrace is shown without a glass balustrade; the listing says permission has been granted, so check the permission, its conditions and any listed-building requirements.

At £875,000, the asking price is around 12.6% above the local £/sqf benchmark, and the numbers are not especially forgiving: purchase plus refurbishment costs look tight against local benchmarks, even before fees. Strong fundamentals and the unusual character help, but this is a more compelling fit for someone who values the house’s particular features than for a buyer relying on a clear discount or easy value uplift.

Key opportunities

  • Make the most of the period features and generous six-bedroom layout, with scope to tailor the spaces to family living, guests or home working.
  • The separate modern kitchen/living area, courtyard, garden and roof terrace create a distinctive mix of indoor and outdoor space.
  • Check the stated permission for a glass balustrade and, if it remains valid and suitable, complete that terrace improvement in line with listed-building requirements.

Key risks

  • The asking price is above the local £/sqf benchmark, and purchase plus refurbishment costs look tight against local benchmarks.
