Beach House in Worthing was built in 1820 to designs by John Rebecca. Between 1907 and 1910 King Edward VII stayed at the house several times while visiting its owner, Sir Edmund Loder.

In 1917, playwright Edward Knoblock bought the house. His visitors included Arnold Bennett, J. B. Priestley, and Sir Compton Mackenzie. Knoblock refurbished the interior and forecourt of the property to the designs of Scottish architect Ormrod Maxwell Ayrton.

Beach House gives its name to nearby Beach House Park, one of the world's best-known venues for bowls.
