All you need to know about Fiveways

Location

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.

Local Transport

Fiveways is well connected. Three bus routes – 5, 26 and 46 – all take you into Brighton centre. London Road train station is close by for local and national rail services.


For those with a car, the area is practically on the A23, making it easy to drive up to London (or further).

Schools

The local primary schools are excellent, with Fiveways sitting in the catchment area for Downs Junior School and Balfour School.


Moving on to secondary and sixth form, the Dorothy Stringer School, Varndean School and Varndean College are all close by.

Housing Styles

Fiveways has plenty of property choice.  1 bed starter homes around Ditchling Road go for around £200,000, with larger Victorian terraces between £400,00 to £600,000. 


At the upper end, Surrenden and Preston Park host larger, older properties with big garages and plenty of character for £800,000 and upwards.

Area Demographic

Being slightly out of town, Fiveways tends to be popular with people between 30 and 50.  The traditional, village feel appeals to settled locals looking for somewhere bigger with good schools, and Londoners getting out of the city and into London-by-the-sea.


Fiveways is particularly attractive to people who like Hove and all it has to offer, but are looking for more value for money in their property. 

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.  

Lewes Road

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.

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.
