Vendor’S Comments: - “The area had instant appeal, close to Queen’s Park, bridging Kemptown’s beaches with the North Laine at the Level and with the station easy to reach. We fell in love with this beautiful house and its period proportions, original features and sunny, south garden – which was hard to find as most streets are oblique to the sea- and enjoyed creating the living dining room and kitchen of our dreams. On a hill we have uninterrupted sunshine at the back and the versatile layout and bright rooms have been perfect for our changing needs. Queen’s Park is a fantastic area to live in with a welcoming community of professionals, couples and families, and the park is a focus for events so you will meet people easily if you’re a couple or a family of any age.”
