this large family home for its generous sense of space and for its
generous sense of space and for its authentic period feel and
features. And we also appreciated the added advantage of this being
a complete house with a lovely amount of flexibility.
The location is perfect. We're within easy walking distance of
central Brighton, London Road and the Open Market and because
London Road train station is nearby it's great if you need to
commute to London or go to a cultural event. At the same time, it
only takes ten minutes to be out in the beautiful Sussex
countryside.
My favourite place to spend time is in the main reception room, I
was an academic until I retired and this was where my work was
done. I find it nice and relaxing to be in and the colour was
chosen to create a calm and soothing impression. I love closing the
door and sitting down with a good book in the peace and quiet
there.
I'll miss everything about this house really, it has always been
the focal point of our family life.' In the Local Area Originally
