Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Wellesbourne is located in the heart of Brighton, local shops just minutes away on foot the Brighton seafront and The Lanes just 15-20 minutes away on foot. There is a bus stop right outside which will take you anywhere you need to in the city. With a little one having Preston Park right opposite is perfect for the warmer days.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

I’ve had no real issues so far but have been made aware if ever I need assistance then I can request through the app.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The signal in the building isn’t great, however there is WiFi in the reception area and WiFi is included in rent. I would just suggest setting your apartment WiFi up soon as you’re able to as it can take a little time.

We moved into our two-bedroom apartment at Wellesbourne on Preston Road a few weeks ago, and we’re absolutely loving it. The amenities are stunning—everything is modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The staff have been incredibly friendly and helpful since day one, which made settling in so easy. The views over Preston Park are beautiful, and there’s always something to do in the area—whether it’s a walk in the park, grabbing a coffee nearby, or exploring Brighton. One of our favourite things has been the social area downstairs—it’s a great space to relax or work from, and the resident socials that are organised really help you feel part of a community. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to move here!

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

One thing I’m really looking forward to is the possibility of there being a shop/cafe or gym on the ground floor of the building.

Good aspects: Preston Park right outside, there's shops nearby, off-licenses, paypoints, and bus stops within 1 min. Somewhat negative aspects: No supermarkets close-by (within 4-5 mins).

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

They're super quick to respond and the liaising with the maintenance team is also very efficient. I had a call from the engineer within 2 days, and that was during the bank holiday!

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

How easy it would have been when I was moving here, they're all so helpful and patient.
