Outright Sale August Fields, Newhaven

Discover August Fields

Built upon a bronze age fort at the mouth of the River Ouse, with a strong maritime history, the harbour town of Newhaven may be small but still delivers on location. Nestled between the South Downs and the south coast, less than 10 miles east of Brighton, Newhaven offers you the chance to live close to the coast, countryside and city.

With its cross-channel ferry service, port and marina, Newhaven will appeal to anyone who dreams to be at sea. Newhaven Fort is a local attraction, but there are plenty of nearby sights to explore including Paradise Park botanical gardens and Seven Sisters Cliffs. Stay local for beach walks, a variety of pubs and independent restaurants, or easily spend hours walking around North Laine and along the seafront in nearby Brighton. Those looking for higher pastures have all of the South Downs to explore with walks starting alongside the River Ouse.

A range of unique homes are available at this semi-rural development which backs onto open countryside, with every home featuring private parking and private gardens.
