We’re in Worthing, West Sussex this week Welcome back to What I Own – Metro’s property series where we speak to homeowners about getting on the ladder. Last week, we were in London chatting to 39-year-old Rachael Smith, who bought a houseboat with her partner Euan for £125,000. This week, we’re in Worthing with 39-year-old Erica, whose last home was featured in What I Own back in 2022.
How have you made the property feel like home? By splashing colour and personality on every single wall, filling it with my favourite colours and textures, and giving in to every silly whim I have about what to do with the space. When I bought the house, the garden was completely paved over, so I had my friend and trusted handyman pull up the pavers and lay grass so that Peanut had a garden to entertain him .
