This landmark development in Hove brings 154 new apartments to Brighton & Hove. The homes range from studio to three bedrooms, arranged across four buildings, with podium gardens a big draw for residents. Hove’s beaches lie around a 15-minute walk away, while the many cafes and entertainment venues of this coastal city are all within an easy walk, cycle or bus ride – along with great schools, colleges and universities. The properties are bright and modern, with plenty of storage space, cycle storage and energy efficiency features. Residents can enjoy the fresh sea air, while London remains under an hour away by train.

This new collection of homes is perfectly positioned for a well-rounded lifestyle. Chichester’s city centre lies just over a mile – or 10-minute cycle ride – away, with shops, cafes and a thriving arts scene. Meanwhile, countryside sits on the doorstep and Chichester harbour, Pagham’s natural coastal beauty and stunning sandy beaches are easily reached by car. The two bedroom apartments are bright and spacious, with open-plan living spaces that open to a private balcony and well-sized bedrooms with an en suite to the main bedroom.

The sought-after town of Bexhill is the location for this new development of three and four bedroom houses available through Shared Ownership. The local area is renowned for its history, architecture and breathtaking coastal views. Bexhill’s town centre is just over a mile away, while nearby Hastings and St Leonards are also fully established as cultural hubs in their own right. The three bedroom houses here feature separate kitchen and living rooms and downstairs WC, with three bedrooms, storage and a family bathroom upstairs.

This really is an ideal home for us – I just love it. The layout of the two bedroom apartments looks really spacious; there’s loads of natural light flooding in, massive windows – and I love the open-plan living room and kitchen. This would be a great place for me to get creative. Nelly would have her own room, and because the main bedroom has an en suite, we’d essentially have a bathroom each when she’s back with me. I feel that Hove really fits with where I am in life – I’m an artist, I love Brighton and being a 15-minute walk away would be lovely. Hove is just that bit calmer, but you get all the benefits of seaside and country living.

I’ve been along this coastline and really like Bexhill and Hastings – they’re interesting, with pretty sights and amazing history. These houses look fantastic and I’m impressed that my budget would get me three bedrooms using Shared Ownership. This would be great for Nelly to have her own space and still have room for guests. However, I’d like to be closer to a town centre and the sea, so perhaps this one doesn’t quite tick all my boxes.

We looked around Chichester when Nelly was doing the university open day rounds, and we were really impressed. There is a fantastic mix of history, beautiful architecture and a real buzz that only a university city can have. There are some amazing eateries, bars and cool venues. The surrounding countryside is stunning and I would love this on the doorstep. I’d like to be within walking distance of the sea, but this is still a hot contender.

THE NEXT STEP

The apartments at Lyon Square really are just what I have been dreaming of. I can’t wait to take the next steps, look around with Nelly and get ourselves excited about this fresh start. I have my deposit sorted and mortgage broker on speed dial – I’m ready to get the ball rolling
