Chosen for the collection
A proper coastal house, one minute from the beach
We chose this 1855 townhouse because it brings together everything that makes a Worthing stay work: genuine character, plenty of space, private parking and the beach almost at the end of the street. Three bedrooms, two double beds, two single beds, a bunk bed for the little ones, two living rooms and a private garden give families and friends room to spread out, with the town centre, restaurants and seafront all within easy reach.

Worthing has its own pace
Calling it “the quieter Brighton” misses the point. Worthing is a proper seaside town in its own right — wide beaches, a food scene that keeps getting better and enough space to hear the sea.

The seafront, with space
A wide promenade, an elegant pier and room for morning swims, long walks and evenings by the water.

Excellent coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants with real local character — ask us where we go.
03
The Downs on your doorstep
Cissbury Ring and the South Downs are minutes inland, with proper walking and cycling from coast to countryside.
04
Brighton, on your terms
Twenty minutes by train when you want the city — and a quiet street to come home to when you've had enough of it.

Choose the coast that fits
Brighton energy. Worthing space.
Going to an event in Brighton does not mean you have to stay in the middle of it. Worthing gives you a calmer coastal base, more room to spread out and easy access to Brighton by train or car.
More energy
Choose Brighton if…
- Restaurants, nightlife, festivals and venues on your doorstep.
- A lively city break where everything is within walking distance.
- The Lanes, seafront and Brighton energy from morning until late.
More breathing room
Choose Worthing if…
- More space, quieter evenings and easier beach days.
- Family trips, dogs, cars and longer stays.
- A slower coastal base with Brighton still within easy reach.
