Between the gentle undulations of the hills of the East Sussex countryside and the varied coastline, Pett, a quaint village in East Sussex, has become one of the region’s most desirable locations for homebuyers. Prices here are competitive compared to more well-known East Sussex towns like Rye or Hastings, making it attractive for buyers looking for value for money in a beautiful location with potential for capital growth. Almost seems too good to be true.
Pett village is just a short drive from Rye, a town famed for its medieval history and stunning architecture, where you can catch a direct train to London in around 1 hour and 30 minutes. Alternatively, the A259 provides direct access to Hastings, which, as well as having become possibly the UK’s most desirable seaside town, also has excellent rail links to London. Both Hastings and Rye have a great array of independent shops, restaurants, pubs and cinemas as well as the convenience of the usual range of supermarkets.
This is also an area with a lot of heart and a proactive community. Through heroic fund-raising efforts and the tremendous generosity of many, the Pett Level Residents’ Association formed a charitable Trust which was able to secure land in the area as an amenity for the public and for wildlife conservation. Further purchases of land were made bringing the total area to about 24 acres. The Pett Level Preservation Trust’s wildlife-rich coastal habitat includes part of the ancient island of Toot Rock and a section of the Royal Military Canal. The area to the seaward side of the canal is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
