Relocating from the city

It's finally time for me to leave London, its been 20 years. I work full time as a dog walker and have done for nearly 5 years, self employed, before that 5* hospitality as a host, so I will be looking to start again when I relocate as I love dogs, but will find a job beforehand to tie me over, I have lived in my current flat for 7 years, on Old Kent Road, I'm looking for somewhere allot quiter and more open. I'm looking to live with someone and not just rent a room, I know Brighton can be an expensive area, so I'm very open to areas, I drive which makes this easier , Any question's feel free to message
