Owner’s Secret:
“The house is lovely and bright all day and the flowing layout is easy to live with. It has been ideal for entertaining when the garden becomes part of the house – and the garden is large enough if you have children to mean you don’t have to go to the park – you can just relax at the weekend, and Gatton Park is close enough for older children to walk to. The area is safe and friendly, Withdean Stadium and Preston Park are very sociable so you’ll easily meet people if you’re new to the city. We also love its convenience for the walks and rides of the National Park, the seaside and the city.”
