We have only just moved into this house and we are now in the middle of refurbishment. It will take us at least until the end of this year to complete the first phase. We hope to complete the second phase next year.

We already have an exchange scheduled for early 2023 and unfortunately we won't be in a position to agree another until 2024.

Our home is currently a 3 bedroom detached chalet house in West Hove, but it will soon become a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house. The upstairs will have a master bedroom with ensuite whilst the second bedroom will use the existing "family" bathroom.

Downstairs is a large open plan area, with sitting, dining, kitchen and a sun room all benefiting from a very light and airy layout.

We have a fairly large back garden given over mostly to lawn and flower, but it will be redesigned at some stage. It's east facing, which means the morning sun in the sun room, and is quite private.

Our home is less than 10 minutes walk from the beach in Hove. Shops are available at a number of near locations within 10 minutes and pubs are plentiful. There is one at the top of our street with a lovely garden.

Its about a 45 minute walk to the centre of Brighton. There are numerous bus routes pass very close the house giving easy access to the city centre. Our nearest railway station is Portslade with a less than 10 minute ride into Brighton or a little more than an hour to London.
