Reference:- 1801 Home to a family with 2 children in the 5-12 age group and 3 teenagers, looking to house swap in school holidays.
While this home is on a main road with flats and other residential properties, it's just opposite a huge green space with a park; another park is 300 yards up the road, and a third is 15mins walk with a café! The bus stop into the city centre is 50 yards.
Brighton is an exciting seaside city to explore. It's very 'vibey' in the summer and in the evenings, especially on the beach. There are great restaurants, shops & so much to see & do for all age groups.
This good sized home comprises downstairs- a large kitchen, with a table that extends to fit 12; a Play-station den with a PS4, a porch area and downstairs toilet, and a good size lounge with TV; Netflix, Prime, Disney. Upstairs is the double room, a single room, a twin room, and smaller room with bunk beds, as well as a bathroom.
The enclosed medium front garden is grassed; the enclosed small-medium back garden, has decking and steps to Astro turf & a gym bar.

The family attend the New Frontiers Emmanuel Church in Brighton. This is a thriving fellowship of approximately 220 adultsand 50 kids in the morning service and 130 in the evening! There is a small Cof E church just opposite the house- St Cuthman’s, and a bigger CofE church- St Peters in the city.
Established in 2003, 'Christian House and Church Swap’ (CHACS) is a UK based house-swap holiday organisation.
There are registered members throughout the UK, Europe and further afield. House-swapping works well for everyone; single people, married couples, friends and families. Instead of paying a substantial amount of money for holiday accommodation, and then leaving your house empty, you can simply swap homes with other Christians!
It's a different and exciting way to holiday!
COST.... There is no charge for registration or membership. Only if/when a house-swap takes place do we ask you to pay an administration fee of £50. For second and subsequent swaps in the same year, the admin fee is £25.
USING YOUR HOME....Your house, however humble or grand, will provide a great holiday base for someone else.Your locality, so familiar to you, has lots to offer to someone new to the area.
SECURITY...There is a rise in house burglary when occupants are away from home. By house swapping you have automatic Christian house sitters! When people register with us, we contact their church leader. This is for everyone’s peace of mind.
LOCAL COMMUNITY... Another great feature is that you will holiday in a local community. A local person, friend or neighbour, will have agreed to give you the key, check that you are okay and to deal with any queries. That person will also be able to give you up-to-date information about nearby amenities, local events, places to visit, best pubs, good restaurants and so on.
PETS AND PLANTS… House swappers are usually happy to water the garden and indoor plants, and feed the cat and goldfish! Mutual dog owners are generally happy for the dogs to be included in the swap.
IT’S YOUR CHOICE!...You get to choose from the descriptions of over 200 properties, mostly in the UK, but abroad too, all found in the online brochure. You pay the administration fee only when your house swap is confirmed. And you might want to swap once or several times a year, or only once every 2 or 3 years. There is never any pressure on you to make a specific choice. The choice is yours!
