Uckfield is a friendly East Sussex market town with genuine countryside on its doorstep and the Ashdown Forest a short drive away. Families are well served by schools including Uckfield College, Rocks Park and Manor Primary, with several highly regarded independents in the wider area. Uckfield railway station runs direct services to London Bridge in around an hour and a quarter, while the A22 and A26 connect you towards Eastbourne, Brighton and the M25. Day-to-day shopping is easy, with Waitrose and Tesco Superstore both in town, plus a Lidl and an independent high street of butchers, bakers and cafés. For eating out there's a decent spread of pubs, Italian and Indian restaurants, and gastropubs in surrounding villages such as Framfield and Blackboys. Add the Civic Centre, leisure centre, golf clubs and easy access to the South Downs and coast, and it's a well-balanced place to live.
