Eastbourne is a large and thriving resort town on the South Coast in East Sussex. On the seafront are Victorian hotels, the 19th-century Eastbourne Pier and a 1930's bandstand. And there are more examples of great architecture in the town and a lovely traditional sea-front/promenade.
This 1960’s three storey terraced town house is ideally located less than five minutes walk from the beach, with many seaside amenities nearby. Local shops and eating-places are just around the corner, The town centre is less than a mile away. Ten-minutes drive south west along the coast, in the South Downs National Park, are the tall chalk cliffs of Beachy Head and its striped 1902 lighthouse. This is a fantastic area to holiday!
The charming little garden is enclosed and full of flowers. They have garden table & chairs on a patio area making this a lovely place to relax and enjoy eating alfresco on a warm summers' evening!

‘Living Stones Community Church’ is a House Church to which an average of 100 people meet for worship on Sunday mornings. Visiting house-swappers will receive a warm welcome!
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.
Registration forms available on chacs website.
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!
