Being sold via Secure Sale online bidding. Terms & Conditions apply. Starting Bid

We are delighted to present this distinctive mid-19th century freehold building, enviably positioned just moments from Worthing's picturesque seafront. Formerly used as a place of worship, the property offers an exceptional opportunity for redevelopment, conversion or alternative use, subject to the necessary planning consents (stnpc).

Now requiring comprehensive refurbishment, the building provides a rare blank canvas for developers, investors and owner-occupiers looking to create something truly special within a highly desirable coastal location.

Occupying a prominent position on the western side of Bedford Row, the property is just a short stroll from Marine Parade, Worthing beach and promenade. Worthing town centre, the pier, restaurants, cafés and local amenities are all within easy reach, making this an attractive proposition for a variety of future uses.

Extending to approximately 1,430 sq ft and arranged over a single level, the accommodation currently comprises a substantial principal hall, several ancillary rooms, former kitchen facilities and WCs. Externally, the property benefits from off-road parking for two vehicles to the front, a particularly valuable asset in this central seafront location.

Opportunities to acquire character buildings with such significant potential in this prime location are rarely available. Whether for redevelopment, conversion or long-term investment, this unique freehold property represents an exciting opportunity to unlock considerable future value, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.
