Jacobs Steel are delighted to bring to the market this rarely available and imposing detached Tudor-style family residence, ideally situated in the heart of the ever-popular Tarring Village. Occupying a generous plot of over 1,000 sqm, this striking home combines period charm with spacious, versatile accommodation, making it perfectly suited to modern family living. The property boasts five well-proportioned double bedrooms, three elegant reception rooms, a modern fitted kitchen, and two bathrooms, offering both comfort and practicality. Additional benefits include an integral garage, ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, and a beautifully maintained, mature landscaped rear garden that provides a wonderful setting for outdoor entertaining or quiet relaxation. Properties of this calibre and in such a sought-after location are rarely available, and early viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the space, setting, and character on offer.

Internal An enclosed storm porch opens into the large and welcoming reception hall, immediately setting the tone for the well-proportioned rooms and character that runs throughout this impressive mock-Tudor style residence. The hall provides direct access to all principal ground floor rooms, a convenient cloakroom/WC, and a staircase rising gracefully to the first floor. The ground floor boasts three elegant reception rooms, each offering exceptional versatility to suit the demands of modern family life. The formal sitting room provides a refined space for relaxation and entertaining with stunning views and access over the garden. A bright and spacious dining room offers the perfect setting for family gatherings or dinner parties, while a further reception area flows seamlessly into the modern fitted kitchen, creating a highly sociable open-plan environment. The kitchen itself is thoughtfully designed and superbly equipped with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, luxurious marble worktops, granite sinks, and a selection of premium integrated appliances, including a Neff double oven, Neff hob, and a Liebherr built-in fridge. Its generous proportions allow for both everyday practicality and informal dining, with stunning views and direct access onto the mature landscaped rear garden — an ideal backdrop for both quiet mornings and lively summer entertaining. A connecting fire door also provides access to the integral garage, adding to the home’s convenience. Upstairs, five generously proportioned double bedrooms provide ample space for family and guests. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive feature, offering the scope to create a luxurious master suite with a large walk-in wardrobe and private en-suite bathroom. The additional bedrooms are equally well-presented, each blending comfort with charm. Two family bathrooms serve the first floor, both fitted with contemporary suites and designed to balance style with everyday practicality. Each benefits from underfloor heating, ensuring a touch of warmth and luxury year-round.

External Set within a substantial plot of over 1,000 sqm, the property is approached via large double gates that open onto a private driveway with ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, leading in turn to an integral garage for added convenience and security. The front elevation is striking, with its mock-Tudor-style architecture and imposing bay-fronted design creating an immediate sense of grandeur. To the rear, a beautifully maintained and mature landscaped garden provides a wonderful setting for outdoor living. Expansive lawns are framed by established trees, shrubs, and flowering borders, delivering year-round colour and interest. A raised decked terrace offers the perfect space for al fresco dining, summer entertaining, or simply relaxing in the sunshine, while the garden’s depth and seclusion make it particularly well suited to family life. At the far end of the garden, a cleverly designed and substantial parcel of land has been separated to create a ‘secret garden’. This versatile space provides a unique opportunity to establish a dedicated area for an outbuilding, vegetable garden, children’s play area, or simply an additional private retreat away from the main house. Blending character, space, and practicality, the grounds complement the property perfectly, ensuring it is every bit as impressive outside as it is within.

Situated The property is well located on a popular residential street, with local shops and everyday amenities close by. West Worthing and Worthing mainline railway stations are both within one mile, providing direct links to Brighton, London and surrounding areas. Families will appreciate that the house falls within the catchment for the highly regarded Thomas a’Becket school, while secondary options nearby include Worthing High School, Bohunt High School, Davison C of E and St Andrew’s C of E.
