Agent’s Thoughts
“This is a laid back, unpretentious area which appeals to families, professionals and investors with lots of local amenities and it bridges Kemptown’s beaches, access to the Downs and the city centre.”

Owner’s secret
“The rooms are light, inviting and easy to live in so you don’t feel hemmed in even though ‘The Bib and Tuck’ is just 3 mins drive to the city centre. Both the countryside and the sea are nearby and Elm Grove is friendly and convenient with local organic shops, cafes and bistro pubs. This is a great spot for anyone of any age as there is always something to do whatever you’re into and in the evenings, you won’t need to use the car to go to restaurants or theatres as you can walk or bus everywhere.”
