Centre of Brighton so everything is walking distance and very good. Too many bad things to list but here we go. Firstly. No gym or lounge as promised. Reception help as much as they are allowed but only do our fobs yearly. Clarion our freeholder don’t want to know as they just collect rent and £370 service charges a month. For 1 bedroom. Lies at every turn here and never ending. 5 years here and still nothing.

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

What is the best feature of your home:

Newly built and is top draw apartment. Located in centre of Brighton.

Cranleigh is a great place to live for all age groups. It has a village vibe, but all the facilities you would expect from a small town - a variety of good food and other stores, a sports centre, an arts centre, library, a great GP medical centre next to a village hospital, good schools, an active community centre catering to all age groups, and if you want more than the shops locally provide, Guildford is only 25 mins away by bus. Buses are not as frequent as in a city, but there is also a Surrey Connect service running locally. Nearby Shalford is great for trains to Waterloo. The countryside surrounding speaks for itself, and the south coast is easily accessible making for great days out to the seaside.

What is the best feature of your home:

Well built, practical and visually pleasing design and layout. Situated in peaceful and pleasant development as a whole, and well maintained.

Cranleigh is a lovely place to live - the village is very welcoming and has a wide range of restaurants, coffee shops and cafes. Although there is no train station Guildford is not too far and local buses run regularly. This estate is one of the few that has more than adequate parking for each house and Waverley council provide weekly bin collections. Road noise is minimal.

Everyone here is very friendly and open and anyone coming to Willowbrook would get a well built house with a stunning view

What is the best feature of your home:

The views of the open land and the local area. Also the lightness of the house.
