[Sussex] Where would you live in Sussex?

[Herr Tubthumper]

I am quite happy where I live at the moment but if I had more cash I’d also have an apartment in Brighton near the station to use when visiting and a place on Ibiza. Just reasonably sized places, nothing too flash.

Happy to be educated further with some gems from this thread, but as things stand I think I'd get a house (which may involve putting some flats back together) at Courtney Terrace, on the Kingsway (Hove).

Good call. We could have an early morning swim together, if you would be prepared to talk to oiks. Nice houses and a lot of them are now with swimming pools in the long gardens leading down to the prom. Owned by the likes of Iron Maiden's Manager.

Very good shout.

I would live in Upper Dicker for the name alone.

Fulking for the Shepherd & Dog. Or Shoreham Beach where I used to live when I was young.

Bazehill Road, Rottingdean. I spent the first 5 years of my life in a bungalow in Eley Drive, and Bazehill road would be a nostalgic upgrade as I look down the barrel of the gun of inevitable decline in my health, and death.

That said, I am more than happy where I am and would rather give nostalgia a miss. I love coming down to the Amex every couple of weeks for the football, but I moved away from Brighton 39 years ago. I don't like 'going back' - it is far too melancholic, and melancholy can be addictive. I am a grumpy enough ******* as it is, without slipping into a permanent reverie.

Bazehill's nice. They built a large block of apartments down there not so long ago, making a move there more viable!

Eley and Elvin these days is very much the other side of the Rottingdean sticks.

I thought that she was either abducted or possibly found on the A29 near Lodge Hill. Her captor was found in Littlehampton.

She was indeed found there but Whiting took her from near Kingston Gorse. Pure evil!

The disgusting, evil nonce has since had his features rearranged in prison. My heart bleeds.

If I had the money I would buy a large house in or near the village of Waldron
If I sold my current house I might just be able to afford a small house in or near Waldron.

 

[Dick Head]

Are there any houses overlooking Cuckmere Valley?

Don't know, but if I had the means and money, I would

 

[schmunk]

Crossways in West Chiltington would be my place of choice should the six numbers come up.

It wouldn't be my first choice - it's a street away from my in-laws...

I lived there for 7 years.

Couldn't agree more. He effectively took 3 lives that day. The Dad subsequently died (of a heart attack?) and Sara, amazing woman who showed so much courage and dignity and got Sarah's Law introduced, suffered a stroke.

I am realistic to accept now that even if I won the lottery family responsibilities (son with learning disabilities but happily in supported living accommodation 3 miles from us) probably mean I'll never move back to my home county.

If I ever could it would have to be Lewes as we used to live in Ringmer (my Mum still does) and my grandparents in Plumpton and it was always our town (and lots of other people's too, obviously!!).

But the nearest I'll ever probably get to there is the Property Porn of the Right Move website

If you won the Lottery, which street in Sussex would you choose to live in?

If you had to stick to your current financial restrictions, where would you choose? Perhaps you’re already living there.

Shoreham Beach side and I live there now. Exactly where I want to be. Quick access to beach, river and Downs.
I just hope that the revolting new flats going up don’t ruin the town. They look foul already and we simply don’t have the infrastructure for that many new residents.

Very nice in the 60s. But it seemed very white van round there last time I looked.....

@Dick Knight's Mum moved in (round the corner) the year I moved out, and grew up with all the kids I left behind when we moved to Portslade. Weird.

 

[Two Professors]

Always fancied living opposite The Sussex Ox when I were a lad so that would be my pick.With a Yam R6 in the garage for beating up the lanes.

Sorry, duplicate post

I met DK many times through work. He himself lived in nearly built/being expanded Westdene in the 60's, sending his kids to the brand new Primary School. He loved area so much, that in 1999 he relocated BHAFC to Withdean Stadium. The rest is history, as the stripes going marching, on and on.

For the people living outside of Sussex, there is always going to be a bit of Sussex with them, whether it's memories or memrobelia.

Haglands Lane?
