You've got the best of all worlds with a stay at this contemporary villa perched in the pretty West Sussex village of Steyning. Choose from the mighty South Downs for bracing walks. The sweeping Sussex coastline for beach days (a ten-minute drive). Chase the bright lights down to Brighton Town (a twenty-minute drive). Or keep things local with an amble around the independent boutiques and lazy brunch spots in the village (a ten-minute stroll away). Back at home, designer touches are everywhere – from the cool, polished concrete flooring to those ginormous bi-fold doors opening out onto the manicured lawns and private swimming pool that's heated all year round. A garden for all seasons, there are patio heaters, a barbecue, and a fire pit on the terrace to turn up the heat. Meanwhile, kids will love the sunken trampoline to burn off some energy (if you can ever tempt them away from that pool). When it's time to retreat indoors, get together around the vast dining table for a cook-up - there's everything you need in the immaculate kitchen. Crash out with movie nights in the cool, cavernous-esque living area (there's Sky at the ready). Or sneak away upstairs to the... main bedroom's private balcony with a good book – the views over the Downs are quite something.

About Hove
Brighton's more laid-back sibling, upmarket Hove, is known more for its Regency architecture, stylish mews and stunning mansions than its close neighbour's hedonism. Colourful beach huts line its stretch of pebble beach, and the seafront is backed by Western Lawns with its skatepark and small lagoon. Enjoy a craft beer at one of the area’s stylish pubs or do some people-watching in the array of cafes. The family-friendly Hove Museum...
