Why buy a smallholding in Sussex
Sussex farms a mix: 56% grass and 17% cereals across 2,906 commercial holdings, with about 74,300 cattle and 312,000 sheep. Both grazing and cropping are established here, so most kinds of holding have a market around them.
South Downs National Park, the Chichester Harbour National Landscape, and the High Weald National Landscape protect a large part of Sussex, which keeps the countryside you are buying into as it is. Building or converting inside a protected landscape needs more care, and inside a National Park the park authority, not the council, decides planning.
Planning is decided by 13 councils in Sussex, so rules on agricultural occupancy conditions and barn conversions vary by district. Our guides cover what to check before you offer.

- Can I build on or live on a smallholding in Sussex?
- It depends on planning. South Downs National Park, the Chichester Harbour National Landscape, and the High Weald National Landscape protect a large part of Sussex, which keeps the countryside you are buying into as it is. Building or converting inside a protected landscape needs more care, and inside a National Park the park authority, not the council, decides planning. Our guides cover what agricultural permitted development allows and when you need full permission.

- No. Registering and connecting with a seller are both free for buyers, and your name and contact details stay private until you choose to connect.
- I'm selling a smallholding in Sussex. How do I reach these buyers?
- Check how many buyers match yours first, which is free. To advertise, owners pay a flat £59 for six months, or £29 where fewer than 5 buyers match, and every matching buyer is emailed once the advert is live. There is no commission.
