We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
For sale by auction 25th September 2026 A rare opportunity to acquire a landmark Worthing residence of considerable local significance, occupying a substantial plot close to Tarring Park and West Worthing station.
Set back from the road, this imposing double-fronted detached Victorian house offers grandly proportioned accommodation and exceptional scope for restoration.
A broad entrance hall, centred around an elegant wide staircase, sets the tone for the interior.
Three generous reception rooms provide flexible living and entertaining space, while the impressive kitchen and dining room opens through French doors onto the extensive rear garden.
A ground-floor bathroom, large pantry and utility room with side access complete this level.
Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, together with a well-proportioned family bathroom.
The gardens are a defining feature, extending more than 40 metres and framed by mature trees and established planting.
At the far end stands the Grade II listed Tarring Folly, a striking neo-medieval flint tower with a turreted crown and a distinctive place in local history.
A separate outbuilding of approximately 30 sq m offers further versatility as a studio, home office, annexe or creative space, subject to any necessary consents.
Requiring comprehensive modernisation, the property presents an exceptional opportunity to preserve and reimagine a substantial period home to individual taste.
The surrounding area is well served by independent cafés, restaurants, pubs, a butcher and everyday amenities, with West Worthing station within easy walking distance and Worthing town centre and seafront close by.
