The village of Southease sits a few miles south of Lewes in East Sussex, tucked into the floodplain of the River Ouse beneath the chalk slopes of the South Downs. It’s a small, quiet settlement with a medieval church close to the river, a tiny railway halt on the line towards Seaford, and easy access to riverside marshes and popular walking routes, so birdwatchers and walkers often pass through.

Historically the area has been agricultural, and today that legacy remains alongside a mix of commuters and visitors attracted by the rural character and views. The village retains a compact, community feel with historic buildings and lanes, and its setting by the river and downs gives it a strong sense of place despite being not far from larger towns.
