Description
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial four-storey property in the heart of Worthing, offered with vacant possession. This impressive building comprises 37 bedrooms, a mix of singles and doubles, and is ideally positioned overlooking the picturesque Steyne Gardens, just moments from the seafront and town centre.
LocationNestled between the rolling hills of the South Downs and the sparkling waters of the English Channel, Worthing is a vibrant coastal town that blends traditional charm with modern appeal. Known for its expansive pebble beach, historic pier, and elegant promenade, Worthing offers a quintessential British seaside experience with a contemporary twist.
Visitors can explore a rich cultural scene, from the acclaimed Worthing Museum and Art Gallery to live performances at the iconic Pavilion Theatre. The town is dotted with independent shops, stylish cafés, and award-winning restaurants, making it a haven for food lovers and boutique shoppers alike.
Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy easy access to the South Downs National Park which is perfect for hiking, cycling, and scenic drives. Meanwhile, families and leisure travellers can relax on the beach, enjoy water sports, or take in panoramic sea views from the pier.
With excellent transport links to Brighton, Chichester, and London, Worthing is both a peaceful retreat and a convenient base for exploring the South Coast. Whether you're visiting for business, leisure, or a special occasion, Worthing promises a warm welcome and unforgettable experiences.
The ground floor features multiple function rooms which are perfect for events, dining, or conversion into communal guest areas. The upper floors are primarily dedicated to guest accommodation with a selection of rooms complemented by communal bathrooms which offer flexibility for refurbishment or reconfiguration.
On the top floor, a self-contained flat provides additional accommodation or potential for an on-site manager’s residence.
The property also benefits from a well-proportioned and sizeable basement. This expansive lower-ground level features over half a dozen generously sized rooms, each thoughtfully designed and benefitting from natural light coming in through windows - a rare and valuable feature in basement accommodation.
