Westminster House is sited on the corner of High Street and Bridge Street.

The upper red brick storeys feature Wren-like concrete floral wreathes and sliding sash windows.
Large gravelled and gated yard at rear with astro-turf garden and parking for six/seven cars. Side yard also gravelled and gated. Planning granted for expansive roof terrace.
Inside, all ceilings restored to original heights. Bathroom, shower-room, four WCs (eight toilets total). Basement vault and strong-room with original steel doors (now gym).

This imposing house has been called the landmark building of Newhaven and dubbed 'Chateau Newhaven' by the local planning committee. The size, splendour and central location of Westminster House reflect its historical importance as well as Newhaven's prominence as a port at the end of the 1800s.
Versatile seaside home at the heart of coastal town. Stone's throw from River Ouse; short walk to English Channel. Local amenities: train station (1h25m to Victoria), beach, swimming centre, football pitches, tennis courts, golf course and cycle-skate park.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on March 21, 2023
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
