EXPLORE THE SPACES…

Every room tells a story. From the vast Great Room and private bowling lane to the secret cinema and sunny terrace, The Bath House offers an atmosphere where heritage meets imagination.

The Great Room (60×40 ft)

A jaw-dropping hall at the heart of The Bath House. Once a Victorian bathing chamber, now a grand social space with soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and architectural arches. Ideal for dining, relaxing, and entertaining, this vast 60 × 40 ft room features the property’s original charm alongside modern comforts — the perfect backdrop for retreats, family gatherings, and creative sessions in St Leonards-on-Sea.

The Bowling Alley

The show-stopping centrepiece of the house: a fully working vintage-style bowling lane built directly into the Great Room. Whether you’re hosting a family weekend, corporate retreat, or creative camp, the lane transforms the house into an unforgettable experience — laughter echoing under Victorian beams. Unique to The Bath House, it’s a genuine piece of entertainment history on the Sussex coast.

The Kitchen

A fully equipped kitchen designed for both relaxed family cooking and professional catering. Featuring premium appliances, a large range cooker, generous prep areas, and open shelving that celebrates the building’s raw Victorian character, it’s ideal for group feasts, event chefs, or creative workshops. The kitchen flows directly into the Great Room for easy hosting, from breakfast gatherings to candlelit dinners.

The Secret Cinema

Hidden downstairs lies a private cinema room, complete with plush seating and surround sound. Perfect for screenings, late-night movies, or creative review sessions during writing and recording camps. The space offers total immersion — a cosy retreat after beach walks or bowling tournaments — and captures that boutique-hotel-meets-art-house feel that defines The Bath House.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

Three stylish bedrooms blend historical detail with modern luxury. High ceilings, exposed textures, and indulgent beds ensure a restful stay for up to large family groups, with flexible sleeping arrangements on request. Each of the three bathrooms continues the bath-house theme, combining contemporary fixtures with hints of Victorian elegance. Ideal for longer stays, family holidays, or creative residencies near Hastings. More sleeping arrangements available on request.

The Terrace

A sun-splashed terrace catches the morning light — your spot for coffee, fresh sea air, or evening drinks after a beach stroll. Surrounded by the architecture of Burton’s St Leonards, the terrace overlooks leafy streets leading to the promenade just 100 metres away. Perfect for a peaceful reset between writing sessions or celebrations.

Exterior & Historic Details

Built in 1868 and Grade II listed, The Bath House retains its authentic character — from original brick vaults and arches to the restored façade once part of a Turkish Baths complex. Lovingly renovated in 2013, every quirk tells a story. Expect timeless craftsmanship, elegant imperfections, and the unmistakable atmosphere of a true St Leonards-on-Sea landmark — a house with soul and seaside history woven into its walls.

Studio Setups

Transform The Bath House into your own creative recording retreat. The property can host up to three professional studio setups across its generous spaces.

Studios include high-quality monitors, audio interfaces, keyboards, microphones, and vocal mix booths—all ready to go for writing, production, or mixing sessions. The building’s unique architecture provides naturally balanced acoustics, with high ceilings and textured surfaces offering warm, controlled reflections ideal for both vocals and instruments.

Whether you’re running a writing camp, capturing live sessions, or producing new material by the sea, the house provides space and stillness for creativity to flourish. Additional or specialist gear is available on request, from outboard compressors to extra microphones, ensuring each setup meets your exact needs.
