what the owner says

"Everything you'll need is all within 15 minutes, from theDome to the comedy clubs of the North Laine- and thestation, of course. The patio's a peaceful alternative tothe beach when it's sunny and is a good size forentertaining. The house has been versatile whilstbringing up our children and the location allowed themsome independence. We shall miss our friends andneighbours, but it's just too big for us now. We hopeyou'll be as happy here as we have been."
