6 Chapter 2 BRIGHTON: A MODERN DAY TOWN. Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. One look at Brighton and you ll realise that in the words of Dorothy you re certainly not in Kansas anymore. Brighton is something very special, a lively, cultured, sophiicated seaside town unrivalled anywhere else in Britain. No wonder the Metro recently called it Probably the be City in the UK, while others have voted it the UK s Coole City and one of the UK s Happie Cities. * Rich in attractive Regency and Victorian architecture, it combines elegant hiory with flamboyant seaside fun and a vibrant love of culture. Theatre lovers can enjoy everything from We End shows to experimental fringe, while film fans can choose between two multiplexes and an art-house cinema. Brighton is also home to a ho of feivals throughout the year, including one of Europe s large and be arts events. Even when there s not a feival or big show in town, it s simply impossible to be bored here. This is a town where the café society is electric, the dining scene almo overwhelming in choice and the nightlife simply legendary with many hundreds of bars, pubs and nightclubs ranging from the traditional to the otherworldly. Flying monkeys aside, we all need a way to get around and Brighton is perfect for cycling. As you d expect from such a forward-looking town, Brighton is extremely cycle friendly and Moderno is little more than a quarter of an hour s ride away from the seafront and pier by bike. The town has recently been designated one of Britain s exclusive cycling towns and is also part of the National Cycle Network. *Sources: Metro, Sky News and YouGov. 9

7 HAPPINESS IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD. The little girl gave a cry of amazement and looked about her, her eyes growing bigger and bigger at the wonderful sights she saw. It may be true that there s no place like home but having a home beside the seaside makes for a very special home indeed, especially when you re growing up. Brighton has been voted one of the Top 10 city beach break deinations in the world so ju imagine being able to enjoy all of its attractions all of the time. The town s world-famous Victorian Pier is full of fun, with its own amusement park and fairground rides perched on the end, as well as a delicious fish and chip reaurant and a choice of bars. Here, you can catch the seafront electric railway down to Brighton s chic new Marina, or drop into the hugely popular Victorian Sealife Centre and marvel at the undersea creatures. Brighton s newe attraction is the Wheel, a fabulous ferris wheel offering va panoramic views over the ocean, the town and beyond. There are numerous opportunities for water and beach sports and you can indulge your passion for sailing at one of two yachting clubs based at the Marina. Of course, if you prefer, you can simply lounge on Brighton s Blue Flag awardwinning beach with cold drinks and an ice cream topped off with a flake. For a complete change of scenery, Moderno is also ju minutes away from the beautiful South Downs, which are ju perfect for family picnics, cold drinks in old country inns, woodland treks or for exploring by bike or on horseback. There s even a riding school nearby. For keen golfers, the South Downs are also home to some of the very be clubs and courses in Sussex. The Dyke, Brighton & Hove, Waterhall and We Hove golf clubs are all ju a short drive from home. Brighton Pier, Brighton 10 11

9 SHOPPING A BRIGHTON EXPERIENCE. If we didn't want anything, we would never get anything, good or bad. I think our longings are natural, and if we act as nature prompts us we can't go far wrong. Whatever your heart s desire, whatever you seek the mo, you re almo certain to find it somewhere in one of Brighton s simply incredible shops. Perhaps The Scarecrow, The Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion might have had to look slightly further afield for a brain, a heart and courage but almo everything else is on sale here. It s no exaggeration to say that Brighton offers the fine, mo enjoyable shopping experience in Southern England or - indeed - this side of the rainbow. North Laine has a very different, but no less enticing, atmosphere. Here, in the very heart of the Cultural Quarter, you ll find over 400 shops, ranging from the delightful to the dotty. Shop around and you ll see the emphasis is on imagination and creativity. It s here that retro chic meets kitsch excess. Old vinyl meets fresh cupcakes. 50s fashions meet 21 century interior décor. Old books. New ideas. It s like a souk from the pages of an old Arabian fairy-tale and you never, ever know what you ll find. The Lanes are legendary. Ju take a leisurely roll through them and you ll quickly appreciate why. Here you ll find simply a wealth of independent shops and trendy boutiques selling fabulous designer fashions and wildly original cuom jewellery. The diversity is thrilling, the choice exhauing so do take time out for coffee in one of the quirky little cafes and enjoy the free jazz from some of Brighton s be buskers. For more conventional shopping, try Churchill Square or Brighton Marina. Churchill Square has over 80 shops and features all the bigge high reet names, while the Marina offers choice shopping and an excuse to lunch al fresco in a unning quayside setting!

10 RESTAURANTS WINE AND DINE. Brighton boas over 400 reaurants ranging from Michelin Starred finery to quirky seafront biros. So whether you re looking for a romantic night out, a fun family meal or to entertain Uncle Henry and Aunt Em when they come a-calling, you re sure of the perfect dining experience.

11 Chapter 3 A GREAT JOURNEY OF WONDER & ENLIGHTENMENT. When your Munchkins are about to set out on the mo wonderful journey of their lives, and art their own ories, it s vital that they enjoy the be education possible along the way. Even The Scarecrow knows you need brains to go places in this world. Brighton enjoys a rong reputation for quality education at every age of your child s journey, from those fir tottering eps to kindergarten through to the academic heights of university. There are over 50 schools in Brighton as well as two outanding universities Sussex and Brighton and a jointly run medical school. It s reassuring to know that four out of five Brighton ate schools are rated as either Good or Outanding, which is higher than the national average and figures are improving all the time. The number of ate secondary schools alone receiving Good or Outanding Ofed reports doubled here in ju 12 months. For those who prefer independent education, there is a good choice locally to include Roedean Girls School, Steiner School, BHHS, a Montessori School and Brighton College, described by Michael Gove as the UK independent school of the year. There is a superb choice of nurseries and pre-schools close to Moderno, all of which are rated either Good or Outanding and nearby Patcham Infants School is rated by Ofed as Outanding. You don t need The Wizard to give you brains ju quality local schools dedicated to providing the very be teaching and support

13 LIONS... AND TIGERS... AND BEARS. OH MY! A great family day out at world-famous London Zoo is ju one of the many pleasures to be enjoyed when you pop up to London. And with the capital only a short train ride away, you can certainly do a lot of popping!

23 Chapter 7 BELLWAY HOMES OUR REPUTATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A QUICK THANK YOU When it comes to buying your new home it is reassuring to know that you are dealing with one of the mo successful companies in the country, with a reputation built on designing and creating fine houses and apartments nationwide backed up with one of the indury s be after-care services. In 1946 John and Russell Bell, newly demobbed, joined their father John T. Bell in a small family owned housebuilding business in Newcale upon Tyne. From the very beginning John T. Bell & Sons, as the new company was called, were determined to break the mould. In the early 1950s Kenneth Bell joined his brothers in the company and new approaches to design layout and finishes were developed. In 1963 John T. Bell & Sons became part of the public corporate scene and the name Bellway evolved. Today Bellway is one of Britain s large house building companies and is continuing to grow throughout the country. Since its formation, Bellway has built and sold over 100,000 homes catering for fir time buyers to more seasoned home buyers and their families. The Group s rapid growth has turned Bellway into a multi-million pound company, employing over 2,000 people directly and many more sub-contractors. From its original base in Newcale upon Tyne the Group has expanded in to all regions of the country and is now poised for further growth. Our homes are designed, built and marketed by local teams operating from regional offices managed and affed by local people. This allows the company to ay close to its cuomers and take key decisions about design, build, materials, planning and marketing in response to local and not national demands. A simple point, but one which we believe diinguishes Bellway.
