What’s so extraordinary about East Sussex? It’s home to charming countryside, exceptional stretches of coast and pretty-as-a-picture villages, drawing new residents from far and wide.

Why buy in East Sussex?

One of its ace cards is bold and brash Brighton – the swaggering seaside town that knows how to throw one hell of a party – and its genteel neighbour, Hove, that’s a superb proposition when the sun pops out. Further along the coast, you’ve also got Eastbourne – another town that’s bolstering the UK seaside renaissance. Its grannies-by-the-sea reputation is gradually being replaced by a jauntier image – of young people licking ice creams, digging their toes in the sand and chatting over flat whites and vegan cakes.

Close by the dramatic Beachy Head is a breath-of-fresh-air kind of place, where walkers totter to the tips of this chalk headland to inhale the sea and stare into the frothy depths below. Often lauded for its rural charm and eye-popping views, the South Downs National Park is a landscape that’s pulls in the adventure seekers and artists keen to capture its natural drama. Peppered around the national park are characterful villages - Ditchling, Firle, Glynde, Alfriston – and the dapper town of Lewes with its thriving creative community, artisan bakeries and leftfield interiors stores. And not forgetting the county’s best kept secret: the medieval streets of Rye where creeper-covered houses jostle with cobbled lanes, ancient pubs, and revitalising beach walks, all under the glare of its looming medieval castle.

Stringing everything together is an efficient travel network: several train routes serve the area, including regular services to London and Gatwick Airport. There’s a comprehensive road network and to the west there is regional Shoreham Airport. You can even catch the ferry from Newhaven to Dieppe in France.
