Sellers Insight

“Our mum bought this house in 2018 after tasking her sons with finding her a property to turn into a family home. She didn’t see the property before buying it, but turned it into a calm and peaceful family home with recent refurbishments.

With its raised, set back front terrace, the house is quiet and private. It’s a short walk to several beautiful beaches, which she used with a love for wild swimming, glorious views on the Downs, and the attractive St Marychurch. This house gave our mum much joy over the years, serving as the central family home for her sons and a fantastic place for visiting friends. She also built a great relationship with the lovely and friendly neighbours at 84 Coombe Lane.

We would sit on the front terrace in the summer having breakfast, or sharing a drink in the late evening sun. This is a wonderful and cosy home that has been filled with love and joy over the past 6 years.”
