Sellers Insight

We moved here in 2017 as we loved the spaciousness, the surrounding views and access to suitable schools. We created the additional room in the basement, redecorated throughout and upgraded some of the flooring but we now need to relocate. It is very convenient as we are only a couple of minutes’ walk from the village shop, a school bus stop and the station with commuter trains to London in just over an hour. Buxted is a vibrant village with two pub/restaurants, a convenience store, farm shop, primary school and wonderful walks nearby as well as around Buxted Park that includes the famous Buxted Park Hotel. Nearby Uckfield has two supermarkets, a cinema and leisure centre, shops and eateries as well as Uckfield College, while there are a number of excellent private schools within a 15 mile radius.
