We're in the very early stages (i.e. not even house-hunting yet) of considering a move back to Sussex. We know parts of the county fairly well as lived in Brighton for 7 years after uni. Been in London for almost 13 years now, but many of our most cherished friends are Sussex way and we miss them.
My husband currently works in Kings Cross, and I work part-time freelance from home. We have two children age 6 and 3.
We're planning a house-swap soon with friends in Hassocks to get a feel for the area, and the commute.
I rang the Hassocks infant school who basically laughed and said not much chance of getting places - more likely to be allocated a school in Burgess Hill and sit on waiting list for who knows how long...
To be honest this alone is putting me off!
Any thoughts or advice or experiences of being a Hassocks newcomer? Would Burgess Hill be a place to avoid? Back in my Brighton days it didn't have the best reputation, but perhaps that's changing. Might Hurstpeirpoint be an option too?
Any help appreciated.
