STYLING MY COASTAL COTTAGE TO SELL....... 

The 3rd flat is smaller but it is lovely. We moved to a small home 3 years ago and we did have to declutter big time, but so worth it. Easy to look after and cheap to run so, more time and money to go out and do things. ❤

Apartment 3 is gorgeous! I don’t think it’s too small for one person. The location and “up there” is perfect ❤

If you feel that good in that last apartment, you need to grab it before it’s gone you may not find another one with the same feeling. I think it’s plenty big enough for one person. I had a good feeling about it too. Love to you.

Flat 3 has ‘the feel’. Loving it. ❤

Apartment 3 is beautiful and the balcony is “everything” ❤

The third flat, small but perfectly formed. It was lovely and just think the smaller the flat less cleaning, more fun!

Apartment 3 was gorgeous. I felt it too!!

The smaller the house , the smaller the bills

I live in a small bungalow after years in big houses - it’s a joy - less work, less bills, and you can only use one room at a time anyway. What’s not to love? Stuff is just stuff - always replaceable - memories not objects live in our minds and hearts forever❤❤

That third flat was lovely. Truly you. You only wish to make one more move, why not just do it. Lock and leave. High up with great views, less maintenance. Get a sofa bed for emergency guests. Ive been declutterring for 10 years. It’s only stuff and now forgotten handed it to either auctions, family and my local Hospice. No longer worrying about someone else having to clear out my life. Travel light, less is more. Some people buy a garage or rent a lock up. They often regret it because it’s always in the back of your mind.

I had a dear friend , who sadly died a few years ago , who worked freelance for new builds…she told me they did a sparkle and shine. Basically anything like windows, taps mirrors. Any reflective surface they gave it a polish before the house went on sale.

I think that flat would be fabulous, especially as you got ‘ the feeling’ which is important. Xx

You are a ray of sunshine. I enjoy watching your vlogs. Thanks for sharing your tips on decluttering. Your current apartment has a lovely flow and is very light and airy.I hope you get a buyer soon. The last apartment is very nice.Top points for the garden and lovely balcony and nice neighbour's. Happy hunting.🎉

I like the smaller one, it just has so much furniture making it look smaller. We moved to an apartment from a 4 bed house a year ago. No regrets. No maintenance to worry about and we travel a lot so it’s perfect for us.

Flat #3 Suzy is YOU, great views, lighting, all renovated, tub and shower, thanks for the decluttering advice, good luck with the selling and move!!❤😊

YES! Flat #3 ! It's bigger than the house I've owned for the last 25 years (& will have to downsize out of someday). Thanks so much for sharing your relocation adventures! Jack is probably looking down on your activities & smiling while playing with all the other dead doggies in heaven.

Hi Suzi, I Love the 3rd flat, I could sense the energy, lovely. Also its a plus that the kitchen and bathroom are new. ❤

The last flat was beautiful!

I agree No. 3 had something special and you could make it fabulous. Good luck in the hunt. See you next week.

The last flat is superb. I would go for that one. Smaller flat, less work.

It's a bit like choosong a pet. You just know when you cuddle it, there's an immediate vibe/connection. Go with your heart Suzie and some sunshine if possible. Very important in winter.

Hope you find your perfect place don’t rush into it! I’m also selling my house at the moment which is big and downsizing is hard, my husband passed away last year and I have a lot of stuff to get rid of. Good luck with your search xx

The third one was you! Yes I always have gone with my inner self 😏As you said no fast moves but definitely go with your “inner instinct “ ⭐️👏🌸

Really loved the 3rd apartment, you can't beat being top floor. I struggle with noise and wouldn't cope with anyone above. Adore Damien Lewis ❤

Definitely the 3rd flat when you get that lovely feeling when you are in there you know that’s the one.

No. 3 for sure. I downsized from a 4 bed to a 1 bed tiny house and have never looked back. The decluttering is tough, but you forget you had so much stuff and you really won’t miss anything once it’s gone.

I agree with so many here - the third flat for sure!! If you have to, buy smaller lounge furniture, and the roomi will not seem small. Being on the top floor and that view is everything! Also, I loved your first outfit, so stylish and cute!

Love the black and white outfit and beach bag and I love the belt. Love the red and white dress/ outfit of your friend. The royal blue hoodie looked great. I hope you find a place as gorgeous as you’re living in now. How beautiful the decorating is. Thank you for showing. The small apartment is nice if your going to be away for a while. I live in a very tiny apartment and it feels like cabin fever all the time, I can’t wait to be outside every day. If it’s your base, that’s perfect. You mention on another video you’d like to travel more. You will make the right decision for you. Great video. ❤️

Personally, it's apartment 1 for me. A good sized living space, which has lots of potential for styling in Atr deco and a big bedroom, both bath and shower- with balcony and sea view. Depends on the management company and the monthyl fess- also art deco, is there a grading on the exterior. Apartment 3, too small a space for visitors. On my 7th property and not doing it again, hapy in a 2 bed house near the high street.

Thank you so much for all the mentions Suzi! I’ve loved helping you get your beautiful home ready to go on the market, now it’s time for someone else to enjoy it. I love the third flat too, with the gardens, park and a balcony you’ll still be surrounded by nature and have a sea view. I did some pre-photo styling in that block last year and it was a flat like the second one, lovely big living space but no bath or access onto the gardens. It’s great you’ve narrowed it down so quickly and can tell agents exactly what you want!

I prefer your home to those three flats. No comparison. Saltdean is beautiful. 🥰💕

Greetings Suzi! I loved those apartments! Always follow your inner knowing. You have to love it and have that "feeling" that it's the one. Love and blessings ♥️🙏

I love the last flat! ❤… I think it’s perfect for you. Happy house hunting!!❤

Having lived in a small-ish flat with my hubby for years, I think flat 3 is the perfect size. The views, light, and outdoor space in the end will be more valuable to you than the space, especially as we age.

Hi Suzi, looking fabulous as always. Your hair looks amazing.Glad it turned out nice for your mini festival. Awesome styling in your lovely home. Love art deco. Nice size apartment, great views in the first one. Love the balcony and the views in the third one. Thanks for taking us round. Have a good week.🐞

It’s a lovely flat…follow your instincts ❤

I loved the last flat Suzi. However do be aware of top floor flats especially if it’s windy - you could end up with roof problems like me. I like not having anyone above me - although last winter I had a noisy, messy squirrel family living in the loft! I completely understand why you want to move - but your place looks so lovely - I hope you find somewhere equally nice. Good luck my darling 🍀💕

Yes! That last flat was devine. You are so smart to wait though. You’ll know when it’s the right one for sure. It’ll feel like home! What a great week! 🥰

Loved seeing the flats Suzi, a very exciting time for you. The vibe of a place is so important, go with your intuition ❤️

Love the gardens and deck! Small spaces are so easy to clean and keep orderly! I loved the 3rd one for certain! Still space for visitors to stay over! Thank you for sharing!

Love Apartment 3!! You will know the right one. Have a great week xx

3 rd apartment looks perfect ❤

love, love, love that last flat X

Apartment no. 3 for sure. The heart knows ❤ and on the practical side nothing needs doing and great outlook.

I actually like Apt no 1. No. 3 has a nice bedroom and it seems airy and has a better view, bathroom is small though. From someone who lives in a studio I understand small, and it is something to consider. It took me 2 years to adjust to it. Also, a small kitchen can be aggravating, however, you can make anything work if you like it enough. Re: the view, do you like to see people walking around or just look at nature? My place is surrounded by trees but I don't see people, it's nice to see some movement every now and again.

the last flat is great, and location!

Flat 3 was just what you wanted Suzie. ❤

Hi Susie loved the vlog the apartments were lovely but not sure if they were for you but you will know when it right for you. Your house looks amazing I’m sure it will sell so quickly I wish I could afford to buy it but like you I’m getting to the point where I should downsize just not ready for that yet as I also live alone. Good luck 😊🤞

It’s so exciting looking to buy a new home! I agree, you really have to feel it when you walk in.❤

I am so excited for you...Good luck...

What a nice restaurang,LOVE THE COLOURS and libanes food os good 😋

Loved no. 3 thats the one

Loved the top floor 3rd apartment and everything about it.. especially overlooking the Buddhist center ... beautiful, Having lived until recently 9yrs in the most beautiful apartments in Singapore i am happy to be living in a grade II listed house now, So many plus points to apartment living but personally i love your current home 🙂

The 3rd flat ..was lovely ..especially with that balcony and view …gorgeous..xx

I love your pants at the very beginning of this vlog. Yes, when we got ready to sell our last house I had to look at it as not my house anymore and de-personalize it. Fix everything that needed fixed. Take down personal photos etc. Clear counter tops. We sold our house in 5 days back in June of 2008. We were very fortunate.

Thanks for another great vlog Suzi .. Love British festivals . We take great music for granted living at home .. not the same here in Canada, even in Toronto where i live Having downsized a couple of years ago because my husband died during Covid , he was from Southampton and I'm from London & Southsea .. I found apartment living a difficult transition . Didnt miss the maintenance or daily upkeep but missed space and my garden especially . I know, it's a trafe off! Think your'e right , a big a flat as possible , big balcony as possible . I live on the top 4th floor of an older building, thick walls so very quiet . Its nice not to have any noise above but a drag coming and going., no lift . I live in the beach area with beautiful views of Lake Ontario and next to a gorgeous park. I really liked the ground floor flat you viewed , it was so bright .. garden access would"ve have been lovely ..but I also love a bath too !

it's beautiful take it I am 78 and live in a much smaller s pace than that apartment but it has skylights and a great view, you get used to it, yes declutter, why does one need so much stuff? you can't take it with you, and the feeling is the most important part...ps I am a very active 78, and walk and dance yesterday 16000 steps, walking is keeping me fit, and of course eating well, you are an inspiration, we are an inspiration for the younger ones, I also go to festivals and love djs, here in Canada, especially Montreal...

HI Suzi, your home is absolutely stunning! We have moved many times over the last 32 years because of my husband's job, and I must say that I have never loved each of my homes more than when we got them ready for sale! I'm sure yours will go very quickly. And wow! Yes, that third apartment was absolutely lovely, although I quite liked the first one too. Good luck with your hunt, and with the sale of the house.

Your home looks so charming.

So excited to see where you eventually move to🥰the last apartment was absolutely gorgeous! ❤

So excited for you and your future flat! I love the top flat! You look gorgeous! Lovely video ❤

Flat one was better option because the bathroom had separate shower. In flat 3 you would be climbing into the tub which might become tedious. Also very bright and airy.

Oh! BTW loved all of your fresh flowers.

Yes Wick Hall is a nice place to live and near St Anne’s Well Gardens which is a bonus.No shops nearby but it’s just a 10 minute walk. Love to see you in Hove !

The last flat was gorgeous and I don’t think it will be on long, you do have to go with how you feel 😊 Xxxx

Love the top floor flat!

Your friends dress is Anthropolgie Bettina. I have two, one in blue print and one in black floral - love them.

Gorgeous home you have. I think it will sell quickly! Flat #3 was small but cozy for one! The view was perfect. ❤

I loved the small flat. I thought it was so nicely done!! I loved the balcony also!!❤

When choosing a apartment you have to look at how you like to live... How will you feel about the kitchen in another room so you will have to go from the lounge then walk out into the hall to get to the kitchen, it will mean you will have to heat the whole flat... Look for a apartment that is a little bit more opened planned.

Love your ‘clothies’ in the latest vlog! The last flat is gorgeous and decorated beautifully ☺️

I loved the 3rd flat ❤️ Just gorgeous. However, please don’t rush into anything. Trust your gut always! Xxx

It's all about the vibe 🎉

Flat #3 is gorgeous!

Number 3 was the best, it was so your vibe and plenty big enough.

Good luck with the sale, and finding a new home. We moved 7 years ago from a big farmhouse to small 2 bedroom house in middle of town. Love it here, can walk everywhere have joined loads of groups, so keeping very busy. Small garden so have birdie tweet tweets ( very important). Garden is blaze of colour right now, and gives me no end of pleasure. It’s so difficult downsizing, despite selling and getting rid of so much “stuff” I still have a garage full, top to bottom that I still need to go through, ( been 7 years and I haven’t touched it!). Small is easy to keep clean, and running costs are minimal. My daughter and her family live in hove , so I know where you’re looking , the park etc, nice area. My daughter lives on sea front in hove, always windy! But easy walk or bus into town, plus so so many lovely places to eat. Good luck with it all.

Your home is GEORGIUS

All about where you feel most comfortable Suzi Your home is Stunning I wish you all the luck you will know when it’s right place for you take care ❤

Apt number was 3 was super cozy! I'd pick that one too! I love a small space, easier to clean, maintain and discourages accumulation of clutter!

Good luck. Let your heart lead you home 😊

Hello from Vancouver Washington. I haven’t made it through your video yet I think you might be my new favorite. Immediately enjoying your happy attitude!!!

Love the art deco block. 2nd flat was my favourite ❤

I honestly think your house will be snapped up really quickly, so hopefully not too much endless tidying required. It looks absolutely stunning!

Flat 3 has the best view and in the trees so you will hear and see plenty of birdies, it is the best shape and well decorated. Flat 2 on the ground gives a great view of the garden, but you will have to add a bath etc maybe a French door to the outside and a hatch, doable. I have been to the park, so good to have outside space around. Great watching you shop for new flat, your own home is lovely so I think you will make your new one fabulous too darling, take your time a bag the best one xx

Your home is beautiful 🤩 Suzie! You are right about that feeling you get when walking in to a property. Happy house hunting 🎉🤗🇦🇺

I agree, I think the third flat is the nicest one!

Suzi, you've done a really great job in dressing your home for sale. Well done...exhausting though, I expect. Like you, I liked the little flat. Looking forward to next week. Thanks for the video xxx

I watched your beautiful vlog, house is amazing, right looked at the flats again on right move, the 3rd flat is definitely a beautiful one, if i was on my own, i would have loved it... not much to even do to it... looked at loads... this one is special ❤

Wonderful Vlog Suzi as always. I love apartment 3 with that balcony and that view !!! It seems perfect especially as you said it had the right energy and you felt at home! I’m excited and it’s not me moving !!! Take care lovely and have a fabulous week ❤😘

It' a lovely house. Tip of the moment from sellers seems to be not to overprice but pitch realistically and get prospective buyers bidding against each other. The market has changed so much - back in 2022 no-one would let us view anything until we'd definitely got a buyer. Apartment 3 would tick all the boxes for me. Perfect size for one in my opinion.

If you want to downsize get a small cottage/house. I have, detached, no one else’s noise and has character with parking right out front for lugging stuff/ shopping in….also no communal charges, once they’ve got you they just keep increasing. Good luck with your search Xx

Third one is perfect!

Just love your home absolutely gorgeous xx

Yes no 3 flat was my fave. Best kitchen and even seeing the flat on screen it felt nice. Weve had 17 homes and its the feel that you get that helps decide whats right. Just my thought. Loved the video Suzi and thank you for taking us along ❤......Alioban x

Definitely my favourite is the third apartment! Ticks all the boxes 👍👏

In Oz we call them turn-key apartments. Favoured by many who love to travel and have retired. Good luck! ❤️

Good luck Suzi whiever one you choose. If I was in your position I would choose no. 3 as well. If you intend to travel as well it would be the perfect answer. Loved your outfit in the beginning sequence.❤

Flat 3 was the only one that looked loved and homely,think you could be very comfortable there.❤xxx

Loved your blue and white pants with the belt! Also, the small apartment (3) is perfect! Love the balcony and it seems private. No one is looking back at you. Very nice!

I agree flat 3 had the best vibes! xx
