The Area

Wayland Avenue sits in a peaceful pocket between Brighton and Hove—ideally positioned to enjoy the best of both areas while offering a sense of calm away from the hustle. The road itself is quiet and residential, lined with well-kept gardens and mature trees, giving it a distinctly suburban feel, yet everything you need is within easy reach.

Just around the corner, you’ll find the leafy expanses of Hove Park and Preston Park—two of the city’s largest and most loved green spaces. Hove Park is perfect for a weekend run, a game of tennis, or a family picnic, while Preston Park is home to everything from skate ramps and cafés to open-air theatre and community events. It’s also where you’ll find Preston Park Velodrome—the oldest in the country—and clubs for cycling, tennis, and cricket.

Local shops and cafés are close at hand, with the bustling Fiveways and Seven Dials areas both easily accessible. Nearby Matlock Road and Eldred Avenue offer independent shops, a Co-op, and neighbourhood cafés—great for daily essentials or a weekend coffee. For more variety, head into Brighton or Hove centre—both a short drive or cycle away—for restaurants, boutiques, and bars that span every taste.

Families will appreciate the excellent local schools, while those who love the outdoors are spoiled for choice. Green Ridge and the edge of the South Downs are moments away, opening up miles of countryside trails, panoramic views, and popular routes up to Devil’s Dyke. Whether you're cycling, hiking, or just chasing the sunset, it’s a lifestyle that's hard to beat.

And when it’s time for the sea, Brighton and Hove’s iconic coastline is just a short hop away—perfect for weekend dips, paddleboarding, or fish and chips on the promenade.
