Once an old hospital, in the 1990s, a community came together to build 22 houses on site as well as other communal spaces that are equally shared and maintained. With over 22 acres of land, there is something for everyone.

The site is owned and managed by residents and is located on the edge of the small village of Laughton in East Sussex. This is the perfect mix of rural setting and close enough for excellent access to bigger towns and mainline transport links.

Each house is individually made to have its own authentic design. There are community facilities available such as a community centre (that can facilitate events), games rooms, meeting rooms, offices and workspaces as well as guest accommodation. There are also smaller outbuildings perfect for art and other creatives.

The land is communally maintained and stretches over 22 acres with open meadows, strips of woodland and ponds. There are also horses that are shared for those interested in equestrian. The extensive outdoor space is perfect for families, animals and recreation.

Laughton Lodge offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the space, tranquillity, and community of a cohousing development, combined with the privacy of individual homes and the convenience of extensive shared facilities, all within easy reach of Sussex villages, towns, and the coast.
