Historic Worthing property dating back to 1400s comes on the market at £1.35million

Estate agent Robert Luff & Co says the six-bedroom property is 'truly exceptional', steeped in centuries of history and retaining an extraordinary wealth of original character.

Grade II listed as The Old House and also formerly known as Salvington Grange, the Ashacre Lane property was originally an open hall, it is thought. It is set within wonderfully secluded and mature grounds.

The agents say stepping inside offers a unique glimpse into Worthing’s architectural past and viewing is essential to appreciate its remarkable scale, atmosphere, privacy and the rare opportunity it presents.

Having remained in the same ownership for a considerable period, it comes to the market for the first time in many years.

There are exposed oak beams, original windows, impressive inglenook fireplaces, vaulted ceilings and an abundance of beautifully-preserved period features.

The impressive entrance gives access to a large cellar, a ground-floor cloakroom and three reception rooms, each offering a wonderful sense of character.

To the rear, a later addition creates a magnificent open-plan kitchen, family and dining space, arranged over split levels. There are vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and extensive windows with far-reaching views across the gardens.

There are four double bedrooms on the first floor, one with en-suite bathroom, and the two principal suites have vaulted ceilings. There are two further bedrooms on the third floor.

The mature garden has been landscaped to create a secluded sanctuary with a well, reflecting the property’s fascinating heritage.

There is a garage and the substantial driveway at the front provides extensive off-road parking.
