Yeah, we are keeping our options open, and if we need to do a place up than i think we will give it a go.
Our aim is to down size and become mortgage free. Well thats the plan
Transport is the key to value. If you don't need to commute to London and or regularly go out in Brighton, for example, there is more value for money away from the mainline stations.
Steyning, Henfield and the West side of Worthing (Ferring/Goring) are all pleasant if a little on the quiet side and can be better value, than the Brighton suburbs. Peacehaven has plenty of modern properties, with decent gardens and is not too far from Brighton, if you are not travelling at peak times every day.
is there a good half
I guess it depends where you live in Kent as to the "goodness" level of either half of Newhaven !

With good access to A23 and A27
Hurstpierpoint is nice and we live in a 3 bed deatched house that is worth about £370k. Very nice area, good schools, very near everything. Takes me 20 mins to drive to coldean and park for games, 5 mins to hassocks station. 50 mins to london on the train, 20 mins to gatwick.

we live in a village called sandhurst. we have the rye road in front but only fields behind, great dog walking but crap for our lad with autism. That is another reason for moving.
so far reason are :- the boy, the club, mortgage free.. need so far:- dog walking area, garden and maybe goodish views
I can see why people say Whitehawk and Moulsecoomb (although having been brought up there, I find its reputation is worse than the reality) but why the others?
Hollingbury is a pretty posh part of Brighton, within walking distance of most people's choice for primary school and secondary school. And I live in Coldean and think it's a pretty good place to live: an outstanding primary school, a local library, a few metres from the Downs, a virtual crime-free zone, plenty of parking, quick access to the A27 and walking distance from the Amex. Don't know what the OP's criteria are but it's a place where we can let our kids play out all day.
I know it's a bit far out and it's not full of clubs and bars (if I were in my 20s, I'd find it a bit quiet) but I can't think of anywhere in Brighton I'd rather live - at my age, I like the peaceful life.

I wouldn't worry about it - all these things are very subjective.

I've never heard Hollingbury called posh. I'm not really talking about the bit at the top of Ditchling Road. But there's some pretty rough roads on the bit coming down from Asda. It's all very subjective of course, and like with anywhere there's good and bad.
