Village Life, Modern Living: Discover Two East Sussex Destinations With Elivia Homes

This guest article is a third-party contribution from Elivia


New suburban housing development with white and brick homes, fenced paths, and landscaped gardens under a clear blue sky.

For those looking to enjoy the best of countryside living without sacrificing convenience, East Sussex has plenty to offer. From the picturesque landscapes of the High Weald to the rolling hills of the South Downs, two Elivia Homes developments are bringing new homes to desirable locations within the county.


The Meadows, Uckfield


Set within almost 20 acres of parkland on the edge of the High Weald, The Meadows offers 50 three, four and five-bedroom homes, surrounded by the space and scenery that make rural Sussex so appealing.


A dedicated Trim Trail winds through the parkland, providing a scenic route for walking and exercise, while the village itself offers a friendly community atmosphere and traditional pubs. The Blackboys Inn, a traditional village pub, is just half a mile away, and Cow Shed Café provides a relaxed spot for coffee and a catch-up. For wider shopping, dining and entertainment, Uckfield is only a short drive away, with supermarkets, independent shops, restaurants and the Picture House Cinema.


For commuters, Uckfield and Buxted stations offer connections towards London and Brighton. The area is especially well-suited to families, who have a wide choice of well-regarded local schools nearby, including Blackboys Primary School in the village itself, plus other primary, secondary and independent schooling options in the surrounding towns.

For Becca and Tom, who bought their first home at The Meadows, it was a real dream come true. They said: “We love the village feel, and there are so many places to explore. The development is so friendly - people say hello, and it feels welcoming. That makes a difference when you’re moving somewhere new.”

On the left, a white floating vanity with a square sink and chrome tap sits beneath a large rectangular wall mirror, next to a back-to-wall toilet with a chrome flush plate. A half-height tiled ledge runs along the wall, holding small toiletries and a potted plant. On the right, a white bathtub is enclosed by a glass shower screen and features a chrome shower fixture. The wall behind the bath is tiled with a decorative feature wall of patterned, patchwork-style tiles in muted beige, grey, and cream tones.

The Hedgerows, Plumpton Green


Around 20 miles away but offering an equally tranquil rural lifestyle is The Hedgerows in Plumpton Green. Set on the edge of the South Downs National Park, its collection of one to four-bedroom homes is designed to appeal to everyone from first-time buyers to those looking to downsize.


Here, rolling countryside is within easy reach, with everyday essentials close by, including a village shop, post office and primary school. The Plough Inn, with its beer garden and heated terrace, is also just a short stroll away.


Its rural setting doesn’t impact its connectivity though. Plumpton Station provides services to London Bridge in around an hour, making the village an appealing option for those seeking a slower pace of life without giving up access to the capital.


Plumpton Green is well served for families at every stage. The village primary school is next door to The Hedgerows, making those hectic school mornings that bit easier; while the wider area offers a range of well-regarded state and independent options through secondary level. With open green spaces, quiet lanes, the recreation ground and the Downs on the doorstep, it is a place where children can grow up with the kind of freedom that’s hard to find closer to larger towns and cities.


Together, The Meadows and The Hedgerows showcase two sides of contemporary Sussex living: parkland and village life near Uckfield, or South Downs scenery and commuter connections in Plumpton Green.


Both developments offer the opportunity to become part of an established community and enjoy the benefits of a brand-new, modern home - bringing together countryside,

connectivity and modern living in two of East Sussex's most appealing locations.


Both developments are now open for visitors, with stunning show homes available to view.

A white car is parked in the driveway to its left. To the right, a second detached house features a brick lower level, light beige tile-hung upper walls, and a terracotta tiled roof, with a gold SUV parked in its driveway. The properties are fronted by neat green hedges, small shrub beds, and a paved brick driveway bordering a smooth black asphalt road under a bright blue sky with sparse white clouds.
