Preston Drove sits within the soughtafter Golden Triangle, an area that forms part of the renowned Preston Park Conservation Area. This neighbourhood blends historic charm with a strong sense of community, making it one of Brighton’s most desirable residential spots. The wider area, once the ancient Sussex settlement of Preston Village dating back to Saxon times, still reflects its heritage. Preston Manor—originally the village’s manor house—remains a key landmark and now operates as a museum and cultural venue open to visitors. Preston Park, formerly part of the manor estate, is Brighton’s largest green space, offering 63 acres of open lawns, landscaped gardens, sports facilities including tennis courts and a bowling green, a children’s playground, and a picturesque pond. Adjacent is The Rockery, a stunning rock garden and one of Brighton’s most photographed outdoor locations.
