Large Room Cottage with view, Ovingdean, Brighton

Poppies at the gate

The main benefits of living in Ovingdean is it`s rural setting, yes you actually have sheep and cows on your front door and a beach at the end of the road. It truly is like living in paradise for some. This, and all within a short bus ride to Brighton. It also has free parking, saving you a fortune in parking fees.

However as this property is rural and the most local bus service starts at 9.00am, unless you are prepared to walk for 15 mins to get the less local bus from the sea front, you need some sort of additional transport.

A typical day in this house is that we get in and perhaps have a drink in the garden, then go off and make dinner. At winter this might be a meet up in the conservatory or by the fire in the sitting room. You might also want to wander over to the village hall on a Sunday and use their facilities.

However this is a room to let as apposed to a house share.

Bedroom: The bedroom is very large, with good quality furniture, a victorian chest of draws, a victorian shelf and mirror unit, an arm chair, and a bed with plenty of storage below. I have also thrown in a TV if wanted. You also have your own fridge and microwave. It is all newley decorated with a new carpet. It was my spare room, and is decorated such.

The kitchen: The kitchen has been recently refurbished and has all modcoms including a fridge, deep freeze, washing machine, toaster etc. There is a fridge and microwave in your own room as well.
The bathroom: Has a roll top bath with a shower to use in the bath.
There is a reasonably well kept garden with a view of the church along side country side views.

There is a table in the garden, for everyone to use to meetup when ever suits and chat in the evenings. We are a pretty friendly house.

It is an easy walk to the beach. My current lodger has been there for years. We are just looking for some one easy going, and quiet when everyone is trying to sleep, being sociable would be a bonus, but not essential. (We both work at different times).

Location: Attractive rural location 7 mins by bus to centre, 15mins walk to beach, Near Rottingdean and Mariner.
Buses: 2 services within 5 min walk, multiple services 10 mins walk.

Parking: Free parking.
Wifi: Yes available.
Pets allowed: No, unless it is a gold fish.
Although I have no specific preference on gender, I have found that the location seems to suit male lodgers more.
