The former Roffey Children & Family Centre is to be sold by West Sussex County Council.
The council has received a number of bids for the building, in Godwin Way, and plans to sell to the highest bidder.
The centre was declared surplus to requirements in July 2021 following a review of Early Help services in the county.
It closed in December, with Early Help services being moved to Blackbridge Lane, Horsham, some 2.4 miles away.
The council has not shared any details about how much it will receive for the property – but it was listed for sale at £725,000.
Jeremy Hunt, cabinet member for finance & property, has authorised Andrew Edwards, the council’s assistant director (property & assets) to conclude the terms of the sale.
A report from Mr Edwards said:
“An options appraisal has been undertaken and the site has been considered against a range of options including for possible social, community or environmental use, particularly where this could complement the council’s ambitions relating to climate change.
“No viable options have been identified in this case.
“No alternative county council service use has been identified for the property and the property is surplus to all operational service requirements.”
