Leyeshurst, Lamorna Grove, Worthing BN14 9BJ

Steeped in local history, this remarkable home was originally designed and lived in by celebrated architect A. T. W Goldsmith, whose legacy includes the Connaught Theatre, Onslow Court and several other iconic West Sussex buildings. The property has since been thoughtfully and lovingly restored, preserving its architectural integrity while elevating it with modern comforts.

INTERNAL

A charming orangery-style entrance welcomes you inside, flowing through double doors into an expansive reception hall with bespoke built-in storage and a stylish cloakroom. Throughout the home, great care has been taken to honour its heritage: the original Crittall windows and doors remain a focal feature, now upgraded with Krypton-filled double glazing for comfort and efficiency.

The elegant living room enjoys a beautiful bay window framing views of the mature south-facing garden, complemented by an original fireplace fitted with a ceramic log burner—an inviting space for year-round relaxation. The impressive kitchen/dining room offers both practicality and ambience, featuring a cosy sitting area, integrated appliances, a retained larder cupboard and a cleverly designed island return with excellent storage below. Sliding doors open seamlessly onto the sunlit patio. A separate utility room provides further convenience and leads directly to the double-length garage with adjoining carport. An added benefit is the solar panels provide energy for the whole house as well as the annex. 

Ascending to the first floor, a generous landing leads to four beautifully presented bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a true sanctuary, featuring a freestanding copper bathtub, double doors opening to a private balcony, and tranquil views across the garden. A further double bedroom enjoys its own bay window, while bedroom three is currently arranged as a luxurious dressing room with fitted wardrobes. A stylish shower room with twin basins, walk in shower and wc completes the first floor.
