The Street, Clapham, Worthing, BN13

Tucked away in the picturesque village of Clapham, this charming two-bedroom semi-detached cottage was built in 1846 and showcases the timeless character of a traditional flint property. Beautifully maintained throughout, it offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere along with a generous plot, ample parking. Planning permission already granted for further extension to create third bedroom and extended kitchen plus a double garage with room above away from the house.

The home opens with a delightful conservatory, a bright and versatile space ideal for seating or additional storage. From here, the kitchen is well-equipped with a range of base and wall units, ample worktop space, and integrated appliances including a double oven, hob, and fridge. An adjoining dining area provides plenty of room for entertaining, where an exposed beam and brick archway lead seamlessly into the living room. This cosy yet spacious room is centred around a striking brick fireplace with a coal fire. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom with WC, corner wash hand basin, and a recently fitted boiler (2024).

Upstairs, the master bedroom benefits from a range of built-in wardrobes and still provides ample room for additional furnishings such as a vanity desk or chest of drawers. The second bedroom, also a comfortable double, is enhanced by wooden panelling and easily accommodates further bedroom furniture. The family bathroom is finished with a modern white suite, including a bath with overhead shower, WC, and vanity sink unit, all set within a partially tiled space. It also boasts underfloor heating.

Outside, the property enjoys a generous plot enclosed by traditional flint walls and mature hedging. The main garden, laid to lawn and dotted with established shrubs and trees, provides a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. Across a gravel driveway, a second garden area offers a low-maintenance block-paved terrace, perfectly suited to outdoor seating and alfresco dining. An outbuilding with space for kitchen whitegoods, garage, carport, and multiple parking spaces accessed via a wooden gate further enhance the property’s practicality.

With planning permission in place to extend the kitchen and create a third bedroom with ensuite, as well as resighting the garage and driveway away from the house to create a double garage with room above, this period cottage combines historic charm with exciting potential. Offering character, comfort, and a desirable village setting, it is a home ready to be enjoyed today and further transformed for the future.
