OWNERS INSIGHT

"Newhaven has been a big part of my life since 1975, originally being my home as well as my business, and over the course of time has provided me with a good source of income as well as a lovely property to live in. During the almost 50 years of ownership I have used it to rent individual rooms and also as separate holiday flats, each of which I found to be very popular, and this has also demonstrated the flexibility that the property offers. In more recent years I have started to 'ease off' a little with a view to retirement and now for that reason, as well as for health reasons, I have taken the difficult decision to sell the property in order to enable me to start a new chapter in my life. Whilst I have never kept count, over the years there must have been literally hundreds of people that have enjoyed their holidays here on the English Riviera courtesy of Newhaven, many of whom have returned annually and almost become like members of the family!"
