A rare freehold opportunity in Worthing town centre: a former single-storey Gospel Hall with a large open main hall, high ceilings and strong natural light. The property is centrally positioned close to the seafront, shopping streets and Worthing railway station, offering high footfall and multiple commercial or community use possibilities (subject to planning). The site includes a small forecourt with on-site parking and an enclosed rear courtyard; internal accommodation is substantial for a single-storey unit while the plot footprint remains compact.
The building suits investors or developers seeking a town-centre redevelopment or change of use. The premises currently sit with F1(f) designation; any new use should be checked with the planning department. VAT is reported as applicable and an EPC has been requested. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, supporting modern commercial occupiers.
Key positives include central location, impressive ceiling heights and freehold title. Important negatives: the property requires renovation and change-of-use or planning consent for many commercial uses; the immediate area records higher crime levels and broader area deprivation. The site is offered at c. £275,000 — attractive for a central redevelopment plot but necessitates budget for works, planning and compliance costs.
Viewings are by appointment only. Prospective buyers should factor in VAT, likely planning costs, conservation considerations for the Georgian/Victorian façade, and any legal fees. This is best suited to a buyer prepared to invest in refurbishment or conversion in a busy urban seafront town centre.
