Newick Life....

From the house, Newick High Street is around a five minute walk, placing the village’s many amenities comfortably within reach. Newick is a particularly attractive Sussex village, prized for its strong community spirit and the quality of everyday life it offers. The village centres around a lively High Street with three welcoming pubs, The Crown, The Bull and The Royal Oak, each well supported by locals. The much loved Newick Tandoori draws diners from further afield, while the Cottage Bakery is a daily favourite for its freshly baked bread and pastries, produced on site in its original oven. The Pantry coffee shop is a popular daytime hub, known for excellent coffee, relaxed lunches and homemade cakes, and is a natural meeting place for friends and family.

Practical amenities are equally well provided for, with two well stocked village stores, one of which also serves as the post office, along with a doctors surgery and pharmacy, making day to day living easy and convenient.

Village life in Newick is defined by its sense of togetherness. The outstanding village school and pre school attract young families, while a wide range of clubs, societies and social events ensure there is something for all ages. The village hall is at the heart of this activity, hosting everything from local groups to productions by the village’s own amateur dramatic society. Sport and outdoor life are woven into the fabric of the community, with active rugby and cricket clubs and a thriving sports field complete with pavilion, licensed bar and children’s play area. On summer evenings the fields come alive with cricket practice, picnics and relaxed gatherings, while the annual Newick Bonfire remains a much anticipated event that draws visitors from across Sussex and highlights the village’s warm, welcoming character.

Newick is well positioned for access to nearby towns and transport links. Haywards Heath is approximately nine miles away and offers a mainline railway station with fast services to London and the south coast. Uckfield lies around seven miles to the east, providing further shopping, leisure facilities and rail connections, while the historic county town of Lewes is roughly eight miles away and offers an excellent range of independent shops, restaurants and cultural attractions.
