All you need to know about Lewes Road

Location

Our Lewes Road office serves Lewes Road, Hanover, Queen's Park, Elm Grove and London Road. All are close to Brighton station – just 15 minutes walk in most cases – and not much further from the sea.


Close to the town centre, Lewes Road and London Road are both up-and-coming areas in their own rights, with local businesses and amenities starting to rival the more famous Lanes and North Laine.


Well served by green spaces, The Level, Queens Park and Preston Park are all within walking distance, and the 5,000 hectare Stanmer Park is just a 10 minute bus ride away.

Local Transport

The area has excellent bus connections, not least the 24 hour number 25 service from the Falmer university campuses to Palmeira Square (Hove) via the seafront and Churchill Square. During the day buses are every 5-6 minutes.


Brighton station is just 15 minutes walk away, making it an excellent location for commuters looking to catch the 50 minute service to London Victoria.

Schools

There are a number of excellent primary schools in the area: St. Luke's, Elm Grove primary, Fairlight, Coombe Road and Hartington Road School are all nearby.


For secondary schools Dorothy Stringer High School, Varndean High School and Brighton Aldridge Community Academy are all mixed comprehensives a short bus ride away.

Housing Styles

There's something for everyone around Lewes Road. There's good value for money for first time buyers off Lewes Road or near London Road.


First time sellers from Hanover, Kemptown or nearer the centre can often find something bigger when they need it.


Whatever property you're after, there'll be something that matches your criteria.

Area Demographic

Lewes Road has a varied demographic, with young families, self-employed graphic designers, and born and bred Brightonians all settling into their first homes.


Buyers tend to either be first time buyers, or people from close by who want to stay near the centre but need something a bit bigger, but is also attractive to out-of-towners, perfect for up-sizing the home office, or fitting in the family whilst still being able to commute.


The area is also popular with students thanks to its proximity to the Falmer campuses.

Fiveways

Fiveways is a family area. Outside of central Brighton but close enough to make town easily accessible, there are good schools, big houses and great parks.It's a village in itself. There's a traditional greengrocer, butcher & deli, with plenty of green space nearby – Blakers Park, Preston Park and access to the South Downs via Ditchling Road.Fiveways is where people come to settle down in a family home, but still want everything Brighton has to offer.

Hove

Hove is often thought of as Brighton's older sibling. Where Brighton metropolitans go to grow up, without sacrificing the city.More genteel than Brighton, prettier and grander. Still within a stone's throw of the sea, but without so many tourists. It's much easier to find a quiet spot on the beach this far from the pier. Hove Park, just north of the station is a large and family friendly green space that gives a real feeling of being out of the city.And when you want the night-life, Brighton is just a bus ride away. Hove is where you can happily bring up a family but keep your specialist coffee habit.  

Woodingdean

Woodingdean is a beautiful area that offers all the benefits of country living just 3 miles outside of Brighton. It's rural-in-the-city, with free parking. And the deepest hand-dug well in the world.The area has a real feeling of community – typified by the annual Christmas get-together for businesses on Warren Road. Many locals have spent the majority of their lives in the area.Popular with Brightonians looking to settle down – without leaving the city completely behind -  there's nothing quite like starting the day cresting the hill of Falmer Road, and coming home to vegetables from your own patch.
