Lewes Crescent | Brighton | East Sussex
Seller Insight "I moved here 11 years ago and didn't mean to stay this long, but the more I got to know the apartment and the area the more I loved it. I instantly fell for the big spacious hallway. It's such a cosy and warm flat and at this time of year it's brilliant to light the fire in the evenings. The communal gardens are beautiful with plenty of different areas to suit different occasions and moods, and the tunnel runs directly to the beach. There's only four families in this building and we're all shareholders so every penny we put in goes back to the property rather than to a managing agent, so it's really well-maintained and cared for. Whatever your lifestyle is you can adapt this flat to suit your needs. It's very peaceful here, a really nice place to be and the neighbours are like an extension of my family. There's something very glorious about stepping out in the morning when the sun is over the sea and the gardens - its very uplifting and I'm definitely going to miss it."
