Owner’s secret:
“The house has such a lovely feel — bright, private and really easy to look after. The living room and kitchen are great for socialising, and the garden gets the sun all afternoon. We modernised the kitchen and bathroom to make it stylish but low-maintenance, and the location has been brilliant — quiet but with everything close by. You can reach both universities, the Downs, and even the sea really easily from here.”
