[Brighton] David Gilmour selling his Hove seafront house . £15 Million

[Herr Tubthumper]

It’s not the property that’s my issue it’s the lack of facilities in the area . Where are all the decent coffee shops , bakeries , independent restaurants? I guess the people that live in Saltdean either don’t mind not having these facilities or are prepared to drive to get to them . Saltdean is not a cheap area so I’m surprised that people would wish to pay say £750k for a house there but not have those facilities plus you have a half an hour drive into Brighton in rush hour . I just don’t personally get why that’s appealing to many people .

To buy a house in an area with all the amenities you list will cost more than Saltdean. You don’t understand why it’s appealing….maybe it’s cost? And if you don’t need certain things then it makes perfect sense.
