Here’s what you think makes Sussex great
Sussex is a county rich in history, with beautiful beaches and stunning countryside.
So it is no wonder it, and many of its wonderful towns and villages, frequently tops most desirable places to live lists.
Lurgashall, Lodsworth and the Lickfold Triangle and Kingston-Upon-Lewes were featured in the most desirable places to live in the UK The Telegraph.
The news comes as no surprise to their residents who take great pride in where they live.
Sophie Jowett said: “Lurgashall Village Shop is symbolic of what makes Lurgashall a great place to live, that is, the sense of community and our interest in supporting each other.
“There is no doubt that the beauty of the surroundings provide the initial attraction for living in and around Lurgashall but it is the community of shop, pub and church which provide the social glue which keeps us all here for many years.”
“Lodsworth is so special due to its beautiful surrounding countryside and scenic walks. It’s a parish where people know each other, look after one another and care deeply about where they live,” said Caroline Neville, chair of Lodsworth Parish Council
As well as the accolade for our villages, Witterings, Pevensey and Bexhill-OnSea was included in the most upmarket seaside towns in Britain according to research by Savills and the Telegraph.
Bexhill-on-Sea has been described as a ‘fine example of an historic town where coast and culture meet’ and the Telegraph cited the De La Warr Pavillion, the farmers’ market and the variety of hobbies and activities available as reasons behind the growth of the town’s house prices.
