Location Guide:

This is a great area to be between the beach and the South Downs National Park- and also very prestigious. Quiet and safe with plenty of shops nearby, the sports facilities, friendly community, playground and café of Hove Park is a 2 minute drive but also within a 5-10 min walk, so it will be easy to meet people if you’re new to the city. Withdean Stadium’s gym and running track and a woodland Nature Reserve is also just 4 mins by car. Local schools are good or outstanding and there’s easy access to some of the best private schools in the country including Lancing Prep and Brighton College - with school buses or bus routes allowing older children independence. Preston Park, Hove and Brighton Stations all have direct trains to Gatwick, London and beyond, and are easy to reach, and nearby Dyke Road Avenue (out of hearing) leads to the city centre and its beaches or to the roundabout for the A23/A27 and the South Downs National Park in minutes.
