Selling the family home is a difficult time for anyone.

But for Catherine Sinclair her house holds even more memories than most.

Her Newhaven home has been in the family for the past 106 years, since it was built by her grandfather.

As well as being brought up in it herself, Mrs Sinclair also raised her own children there.

But she has now put it on the market for £315,000 to move closer to her daughter.

The 74-year-old said: “I feel that it is the right time to move but it will be a wrench.

“I would love it to still be a family home for someone else.”

The property was built in 1903 by Mrs Sinclair’s grandfather Alfred Knight. The master builder was responsible for creating a number of streets in the area and also laid the Newhaven bowling green in Fort Road.

The four-bedroomed house is being marketed by Fox & Sons estate agents in Peacehaven.
