Vendor s Comments: The historic terrace is beautiful and it s hard to beat this location right by the sea and with there is a great variety of local amenities at the end of the quiet one way lane to the side. We love the light and easy flow of the apartment which is very spacious and it feels very private. Living here feels like being on holiday every single day. It would suit professionals who work in the city or investors as local schools include Brighton College, it is only an 10-12 minute walk to the County Hospital with major employers, the station to Gatwick and London and the cultural heart of the city within a 10 minute radius by bus or cab.
