Moving to East Sussex

East Sussex is home to around half a million people. The county has a beautiful coastline and large Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including the South Downs and Ashdown Forest. Peaceful rolling countryside combines with a variety of urban lifestyles and good transport links to London and abroad.

The mix of rural, town and urban environments means that there’s accommodation to suit all needs, from townhouses and apartments to country cottages.

Opera, sailing, golf, walking, cycling, or the buzz of town life are within easy reach.

The county is also a popular retirement destination. Our economy is mainly service based consisting of public services, education, financial services and tourism.
