Is Uckfield a nice place to live?

Set between the South Downs and Ashdown Forest, Uckfield provides easy access to acres of beautiful Sussex countryside, while at the same time offering speedy transport links to London and the South Coast.

Uckfield developed from small beginnings as a stopping off point for 13th century pilgrims travelling between Canterbury and Chichester. It still has many historical buildings which link today’s thriving and friendly town to its fascinating past.

The many attractions for would-be residents include the lively mix of family and high-street shops and restaurants, the award-winning cinema (which regularly live-streams from London theatres, Glyndebourne and La Scala), the excellent sports facilities (including a large and well equipped leisure centre), the East Sussex National Golf Club and the many highly rated state and independent schools in the area.

Uckfield is surrounded not only by idyllic countryside but also by attractions and beauty spots including Boothland Wood, Hadlow Down, Bentley Wildfowl Museum, Bluebell Railway and Nutley Windmill.

Uckfield and the many surrounding villages offer an attractive mix of rural beauty combined with modern amenities and mainline commuter links.

Manor Park

The Manor Park area in the north of the town is popular with first-time buyers especially, with an array of two- and three-bedroom terraced and semi-detached homes. Mainly a residential area, the location has a small supermarket and is within walking distance of the Uckfield leisure centre and the high street, so still has a lot to offer. Manor Field also has a primary school and nursery, so is a sought-after location for young families.

Ridgewood

Ridgewood is located in the southern area of Uckfield. Originally, its own village, it has now become part of the larger town. As it was once its own location, it still retains many of its own amenities, with pubs, a post office, village hall, and multiple parks.

The area now includes a new build development, with spacious family homes that offer large gardens. There’s also plenty of choice of older properties in tucked away locations, offering a quiet home that’s still within easy reach of the town centre.

Framfield

Framfield is a popular village location to the east of Uckfield. This area offers more period properties, with cottages, barn conversions as well as the occasional grade II listed character property. Though more detached from the hustle and bustle of Uckfield, the village still has plenty of pubs and a school. It also offers the Framfield Recreational Ground and easy access to the surrounding country side.

Buxted

Buxted is a large village to the north east of Uckfield. Boasting its own railway station, with regular services to London Bridge and Uckfield, it’s a popular location for commuters who want to live the rural lifestyle.

Buxted has a diverse array of property on offer, from detached and semi-detached three-bedroom homes to larger detached property. Most homes in the area have the benefit of large gardens and parking, so they can be the perfect choice for families who are looking for a little extra space.
