Discover East Sussex Architectural Heritage
East Sussex, a ceremonial county in South East England, offers a rich tapestry of history and architectural splendour. Nestled between Kent, West Sussex, and Surrey, and bordered to the south by the English Channel, this region is home to vibrant cities like Brighton and Hove, with the historic town of Lewes as its county seat. The area boasts a legacy of medieval castles, abbeys, and churches dating back to Saxon times, with landmarks such as Herstmonceux Castle—a former home to Britain’s Royal Greenwich Observatory—standing as proud testaments to its storied past.
At James Williamson Architects, our designs honour this delicate balance by respecting the region’s architectural character while seamlessly integrating modern functionality. We blend traditional aesthetics with innovative solutions to create homes that embrace the spirit of East Sussex and cater to today’s lifestyle needs.
