Ocean Heights Roedean Road | Brighton | BN2 5RA
Seller Insight “When we first saw this apartment seven years ago it was undoubtedly the views and the feeling of spaciousness that instantly drew us to it. We love the peacefulness and the views, and we’ve even taken up golf since moving here. It’s very easy to get into the centre of Brighton and having a high level of security and secure private parking is an absolute bonus that we greatly appreciate. We’ll really miss the views and being so close to the golf course, but we’ll also miss the finishing touches of the automatic bath filler, boiling water tap and steam shower. This is a great lock up and leave apartment.”*
