Location

Strategically positioned on a prominent corner at the eastern end of Freehold Terrace, Freehold Gate benefits from a highly accessible location adjacent to Pope’s Folly, which runs parallel to Hollingdean Road, and is just moments from Lewes Road (A27) – a key arterial route linking to major transport networks.

Freehold Terrace is primarily a residential area, characterised by a mix of purpose-built student accommodation and shared ownership housing managed by a Housing Association. The southern side retains a selection of original period properties, alongside a handful of commercial units operating as offices and workshops.

The area is well-served by essential retail and lifestyle amenities, with Sainsbury’s supermarket just a short walk away, along with a diverse range of shops, cafes, and services along Lewes Road. Tenants benefit from exceptional transport connectivity, with frequent bus and rail services and seamless road links to the A27, A23, and M23, providing easy access to Brighton city centre, Gatwick Airport, and London.
