Occupying a prominent trading position within the heart of Central Worthing, this beautifully
presented double fronted commercial unit benefits from consistent, year-round pedestrian
footfall and strong local visibility, surrounded by vibrant high-street amenities, dining venues,
and cultural attractions in a thriving coastal town. The business operates as an independent
art gallery and curated retail space, specialising in original contemporary artwork, bespoke
homeware, and unique interior design pieces. Presented in immaculate, turnkey condition,
the bright and versatile interior offers an open, modern aesthetic equipped with adaptable
hanging systems and retail display configurations tailored for high-value merchandising. The
gallery enjoys an outstanding local reputation, reflected in an unblemished 5-star Google
review rating. This established enterprise offers an incoming operator a distinct,
character-rich platform in a busy commercial district, equally suited to continuing the existing
retail model or transitioning into a specialist design studio, gift shop, or luxury boutique. A
notable and prestigious commercial asset of the business is its approved membership in the
Arts Council-backed Own Art scheme. The scheme serves as a proven sales driver by
enabling collectors to spread the cost of eligible artwork over 10 months completely
interest-free. Significantly, this coveted status is transferable to an incoming purchaser,
provided the business continues trading under the established "Sabotage" brand.
