Uckfield
Uckfield is about 20 miles from the coast but has the bright lights of Brighton on the horizon and the rest of the South Coast within reach for a quieter seaside experience.
The town is surrounded by the lovely East Sussex countryside and with the A22 on its western edge, it’s easy to get up to the M25 and down to Eastbourne. This is definitely a county for the great outdoors and it’s good to have the balance of a home town with a really good range of facilities and amenities. Uckfield has another bonus – it’s only 22 miles from Gatwick Airport putting international travel within easy reach.
A new home here opens up some great opportunities whether you want to stay local or head further afield. The countryside, the coast, the colourful city life of Brighton offer something for every lifestyle.
