Peacehaven – Peacehaven lies by the beautiful hills of the south downs. It benefits from having both the countryside and the sea close at hand. Originally christened Anzac-on-Sea, Peacehaven began its life in 1914. The roads were just flinty tracks - no change there then. Starting at Telscombe Cliffs, plots were sold cheaply (avg. size 25ft X 100ft). Peacehaven was a very isolated place to consider as home but it was born and it was determined to grow. During the war, there simply wasn't the will, money or time to put a great deal of thought into the architecture... For the first houses in Peacehaven, materials were in short supply, but after the war ended the building of Peacehaven resumed at a great pace.
