Nice south coast towns - Kent/East Sussex

[SarfEasticated]

Hot on the heels of my idea of moving further out to Norwood etc, I have gone one step further and am now thinking of leaving London altogether.

Am thinking of Eastbourne/Hastings/Folkestone and any of the towns in between. I would ideally like a sandy beach rather than a pebble beach, and would like to be able to a decent 3 bed house for under £275k. Journey time to London wouldn't be a deal breaker as we would look for jobs locally. Would like to get to London in under 1hr 45 mins though.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

I know it's irrational spring I just can't do it.

Well said 2fedup!! I am hopeless at linking but am happy to look for properties for you, whats the criteria?

3/4 beds, decent garden big rooms. Victorian - 1950's preferred. Ideally near park/country/sea, walking distance to a station. Thanks!

I give you this one in Eastbourne - nice area, 5 mins walk to the seafront, 10-15 mins walk to station.

I hr 20 to London, Victoria, but easy changes to London Bridge.

Eastbourne is lovely. Roselands & Old Town are nice areas.

A lovely house magic - I particularly like the garden - will add it to my list :)

sorry magi

Any thoughts? You're probably all a bit bored by now, but your feedback is all very much appreciated :)

sarf..........how do I do a link? There are a few nice ones in Deal I have seen for you! Nice than the Eastbourne ones and Deal is soooo much nicer, am I flogging it to you? High speed train service from Mon, Deal to London just over an hour!!

I think you just paste the URL into the box. Like this www.link.co.uk. No need for anything else.

Of the first 3 - Ni 1 is in Old Town & a lot of young families really like it.

No 2 - Whitley Road - it's a very busy cut through road with the local fire station on it!

No 3 - Pevensey Bay - nice but a bit out of Eastbourne & not so good for rail links.

Magi - you're marvelous - your local knowledge is much appreciated!

how do I paste useless! Am going to pm you!

I don't know Bexhill well, but do go there sometimes & I wouldn't want to live that close to the town centre - it's pretty run down & endless Charidee shops - the De La Warr pavillion & gallery is lovely, however.

Have sent you some tasters!

Thank you Triplets and team Edwards - I am spoilt for choice! I don't think I have ever been to Deal/Walmer so will try to fit in a visit soon. Did you say an hour on the train to London?
We were in Hastings over the summer and loved is, so know roughly where those houses are team. The train journey to London is quite a bit longer though isn't it?
I am really grateful for you taking the time

Must say those houses in Hastings are fab, well done !

I'll post up your links if you want me too triplets?

Although I live just outside Eastbourne, I'd agree with teamEdwards - Hastings is lovely - I often think about moving there!

Not so keen on St Leonards, would have to be Old Town for me.

Train links not as good/fast as Eastbourne, however.

These are the Deal properties from triplets

Thought you would like to see them :)
