The main suite offers a peaceful retreat with its own dressing area, stylish ensuite shower room, and Juliet balcony—perfect for soaking in the views with a morning coffee. Bedroom two also benefits from an ensuite and stunning southerly outlook, while bedrooms three and four are well-sized and full of light. This home has been designed with both the environment and the future in mind, featuring Photovoltaic solar panels and an Air source heat pump with underfloor heating to the ground floor.
The beautifully landscaped rear garden backs directly onto open grass meadows—offering privacy, space, and an ever-changing rural backdrop. Whether entertaining on the patio or simply watching the seasons unfold, this south-facing garden is a true extension of the living space.
LOCATION GUIDE
Hailsham is a market town in East Sussex, positioned just north of the South Downs and around seven miles from the coast at Eastbourne. Blending the character of a historic market town with modern development, Hailsham offers a practical yet relaxed lifestyle for residents. The town is known for its strong community spirit, a weekly market dating back to medieval times, and a balance of rural charm with urban convenience. In recent years, it has grown steadily, with new housing developments complementing its traditional centre, making it an increasingly popular choice for families, commuters, and retirees.
Transport Links
Hailsham is well placed for road travel, particularly via the A22, which runs north–south and connects the town to Eastbourne, Uckfield, and the M25, offering access to London and the wider motorway network. The A27, just to the south, provides connections to Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings.
Although Hailsham no longer has its own railway station, nearby Polegate Station, approximately four miles away, offers regular services to London Victoria—typically in around ninety minutes—as well as to Eastbourne, Brighton, and other destinations along the south coast. Local bus routes serve the surrounding villages and offer regular services to Polegate and Eastbourne, supporting those who rely on public transport.
Education
Hailsham has a good selection of schools for all age groups. Among the primary options, Hailsham Community College Primary Academy and White House Academy are well-regarded. For secondary education, Hailsham Community College offers an all-through experience from Reception through to Sixth Form, providing continuity for families within the town.
There are additional educational opportunities in surrounding towns. Eastbourne College, a respected independent school, is within easy reach, and schools in Heathfield, Lewes, and Uckfield further expand both state and private options.
Local Attractions
Hailsham has a rich history, reflected in its preserved architecture and the continuation of traditions such as the Hailsham Market, one of the few remaining livestock markets in the southeast. The town centre blends Georgian and Victorian buildings with more recent developments.
Nearby attractions include Herstmonceux Castle, a 15th-century moated property surrounded by formal gardens and parkland. The Cuckoo Trail, a 14-mile walking and cycling route, passes through Hailsham and offers access to the wider countryside between Heathfield and Polegate. Other popular destinations include Michelham Priory, a historic house with gardens and a working watermill, as well as the South Downs National Park, which lies just to the west.
Entertainment
Hailsham has a strong sense of local culture and community entertainment. The Hailsham Pavilion, a restored Edwardian cinema and theatre, hosts a range of films, live performances, and music events throughout the year. The town features a mix of independent cafés, pubs, and shops alongside supermarkets and everyday conveniences.
Local pubs such as The George Hotel and The Grenadier are central to social life in the town, offering food, drink, and a welcoming atmosphere. Regular community events, farmers’ markets, and seasonal festivals contribute to a lively and inclusive local calendar.
For broader entertainment and leisure options, residents can easily travel to Eastbourne, where there are theatres, galleries, a wide range of dining choices, and a popular seafront. The proximity to both countryside and coast adds to Hailsham’s appeal as a well-rounded and accessible place to live.
