House surveys in East Sussex

East Sussex combines the Regency and Victorian seaside towns of Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill with historic county towns such as Lewes and the timber-framed villages of the High Weald. Coastal exposure, chalk on the South Downs, and Wealden clays and sandstones inland are the main geological themes. Brighton's bungaroosh walls, Lewes' mathematical tiles and flint everywhere make local construction distinctive, and the Ouse, Cuckmere and Rother valleys bring flood risk.
