The Stables (East Street) is situated in the peaceful setting of Falmer Village, which is ideally located for access to Brighton, Lewes and the A27 and A23 road networks. Falmer dates back to the late Saxon period and the surrounding area is characterised by beautiful countryside. Nearby, The Swan Inn (0.2 miles) is full of "old world" charm and is loved by locals, walkers and cyclists.

Falmer Station is just a short walk away (0.6 miles) and nearby frequent bus services afford convenient access to Brighton, Lewes and further afield. Local amenities include a local farm shop (0.2 miles), a Co-op (0.7 miles), Sainsbury’s Superstore on Lewes Road (3.2 miles) and in Lewes, a Waitrose (4.9 miles) and Tesco Superstore (5.2 miles).

The property is set within the South Downs National Park and is close to nearby Stanmer Park and Estate (0.9 miles), Brighton & Hove’s largest park with woodland walks, rolling green hills and the Grade I listed eighteenth century Stanmer House.

The County town of Lewes (4.8 miles) is a unique shopping and leisure destination, offering a wide range of local shops and independent boutiques.
