Where is nice in Hastings?

I have spent the last few years trying to work out where to live when we move out of London, but am no further along, despite spending many weekends down there. I would like a 4 bed house, (detached preferably) in a nice area by a park, and in the catchment area of a decent (non-religious) senior school for my DD9(yrs). I would like the house to have a nice level garden, and for the house to be peaceful. I don't need to be near the beach, and I would happily live in a bungalow if it was big enough. We would need to be near to a station so DH can get to London 3 times a week, and I would like to be close to a nice cafe too (if possible). I would love to be somewhere where DD can ride her bike safely. Places previously considered have been Rye (too expensive) Fairlight (also a bit dear but love being on the clifftops) Old Town (houses too old - low ceilings sloping floors etc, no gardens) but I don't know enough about the other parts of Hastings to judge. I am also an old mum, so would like to be in an area where I won't stand out like a sore thumb in the playground. Can you help? I would be really grateful. Links always welcome. Budget could go up to around £450k but would prefer to spend £360K. Love the look of these houses but they are too dear and I have no idea what the areas are like:
Brittany Helen Thanks in advance!

House looks good Kanga but the garden is wedge-shaped I think which might be a bit odd. Thanks though! Thanks also for the KDWM recommendation I might have a look if I feel emotionally strong enough!

@SarfEast1cated hello did you move in the end? I'm in SE London also near Goldsmiths(!) and looking to move to hastings or possibly folkestone....would love any positive tales as everyone is telling us we would be mad to leave London

I agree with your point that Lewisham is also rough but at least hastings has fresh air!
