I can be in central London within 30 minutes of leaving my front door. And I can be out walking in fields within 5 minutes of leaving my front door. To me that;s the perfect balance

I can sit in my garden and look at the South Downs listen to the birds sheep and cows or take a ten minute drive to get to the seafront. 75 mins by train to Victoria/40 mins to Gatwick.

Plus gorgeous countryside another ten minutes drive away in the opposite direction.

I hate where I live, the back end of of nowhere, nothing to do and anti social residents.

Luckily will be leaving within the next couple of months.

Land Rover's galore, clay pigeon shooting, locally produced real ale, Barbour apparel, vast rural open space / acres, the smell of open fires and log burners during wintertime, and Jeremy Kyle types nowhere to be seen!

I think 'bloody great' might be stretching it a bit far but I feel very fortunate to regularly see red kites above my garden and in the surrounding area, and though minutes away from countryside can access both London and Cambridge very easily too.

It's not great.

It's convenient for getting into London-which is why it's being developed to within an inch of it's life, and waved under the noses of people who want to work in London but can't afford the property prices, or private rents.

This is pushing up property prices here to the tune of £545k for a 4 bed house near to the Thames.

Decent cinema in town, good travel links, nice countryside within reach, easy access to London. If only housing was vaguely affordable.

Hiding in the shadows

If I head south from my front, I'm on the beach in a couple of minutes

If I head north I'm on the South Downs in under 5minutes.

The countryside around here is stunning, I can cycle for hours either off or on road, go paddleboarding, kayaking swimming or diving all summer.

It's a nice little village, everyone is friendly - they accepted a dodgy Midlander!

Yet only a few miles from the bright lights of Brighton and an hour on the train from London.

Yes, I like where I live.

I've always felt most at home in the area where I live.

I'm close to the coast too.

As for my home, it's a very peaceful street and, as there are allotments behind my back garden, I'm not overlooked either.

Just love it here
