Ashacre Lane, Worthing

We are delighted to offer this truly exceptional and historic family residence, believed to date back to the 1400s and formerly known as ‘Salvington Grange’. Steeped in centuries of history, this remarkable home combines medieval origins and later 1600s additions with beautifully presented contemporary family accommodation, all set within wonderfully secluded and mature grounds. With an extraordinary wealth of original character, generous living spaces, extensive bedroom accommodation, ample parking and a garage, this is a once in a generation opportunity to acquire one of Worthing’s most distinctive homes.

Known historically as ‘The Old House’ and believed to have originally been an open hall, this fascinating residence offers a unique glimpse into Worthing’s architectural past, while providing all the space and comfort expected of a substantial modern family home. Its remarkable evolution through the centuries is evident throughout, with exposed oak beams, original windows, impressive inglenook fireplaces, vaulted ceilings and an abundance of beautifully preserved period features.

The ground floor opens into an impressive entrance with access to a large cellar, a cloakroom/WC and three individual reception rooms, each offering a wonderful sense of character and providing exceptional flexibility for entertaining, family life or working from home. To the rear, a later addition creates a magnificent open-plan kitchen, family and dining space arranged over split levels. The vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and extensive windows create a spectacular room filled with natural light, with far-reaching views across the gardens and a wonderful connection with the surrounding grounds.

The first floor provides four generous double bedrooms, including two impressive principal suites with beautiful vaulted ceilings. One of these bedrooms further benefits from its own ensuite bathroom. A further staircase leads to the third floor, where two additional double bedrooms provide an exceptional degree of accommodation and flexibility for family members, guests or those seeking dedicated work or leisure space.

Outside, the grounds are every bit as captivating as the house itself. The mature rear garden has been beautifully landscaped to create a wonderfully private and secluded sanctuary, where established planting, birdsong and the sounds of nature combine to create an exceptional sense of peace and tranquillity. A well within the garden adds further interest and reflects the property’s fascinating heritage.

Approached through a secluded setting to the front, the property benefits from a substantial driveway providing extensive off-road parking together with a garage. Having remained in the same ownership for a considerable period and returning to the market for the first time in many years, this is an extraordinary home of genuine historic significance and individuality. A viewing is essential to appreciate its remarkable scale, atmosphere, privacy and the rare opportunity it presents.
