Beach House, Regency villa in Worthing, England

Beach House stands near the shoreline with a Regency architectural design featuring symmetrical windows and classical proportions across its white facade.

Robert Cary Elwes commissioned architect John Rebecca to construct this seaside residence in 1820, initially naming it Marino Mansion.

Edward Knoblock transformed the property into a gathering place for writers including Arnold Bennett, J.B. Priestley, and Sir Compton Mackenzie during the early 1900s.

The surrounding grounds contain public sports facilities including beach sand courts for volleyball, soccer, and tennis available through advance reservation.

During the Spanish Civil War in 1936, the building provided refuge for children evacuated from the Basque region of Biscay.
