Description
preparatory school situated close to Worthing in West
Sussex. The property is set within an attractive campus of
c.28 acres surrounding the Grade II Listed former manor
house, with ancillary school buildings and leisure facilities
including sports fields, swimming pool and tennis courts.
Founded over 100 years ago as a boys boarding school in
1921, the school was shut in 1940 due to the Second World
War and was requisition by the army until the wars end. In
1946 the school was resurrected by the Sinclair family as
an independent preparatory school and has been operated
by the family for three generations.
The historic school is being offered to the market for the
first time in over 80 years, having to sadly close its doors in
summer 2026.
The scale and character of the estate provides an exciting
opportunity for either continued educational or institutional
use, or a comprehensive conversion and redevelopment
scheme, supported by strong surrounding leisure and
residential demand with an attractive position on the South
Coast.
