How Cuckmere Road, Seaford prices moved
The chart tracks the median Cuckmere Road, Seaford house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2000 to 2022. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 2 | £210,000 | £382,558 |
| 2020s | 3 | £584,000 | £596,696 |
The highest yearly median on record for Cuckmere Road, Seaford is £712,000 in 2020; the lowest is £210,000 in 2000. Across the full 23-year record the cash median has moved from £210,000 to £584,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £420,000, so the real change over the whole record is +61.1% — about +2.19% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +24.3% in cash against -19.1% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Cuckmere Road, Seaford is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

Ownership and new build in Cuckmere Road, Seaford
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 94 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Lewes, 42.2% of 49,257 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.0% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Lewes at £1,323 a month as of Jun 2026 — £917 for a one-bedroom home and £1,495 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £383,750 here, that rent is a gross yield of 4.14% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of BN25, 101 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 36 violent, 1 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 29 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.7 times quieter.
Against the 99,905 residents the 2021 census counted in Lewes, that is 1.01 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Cuckmere Road, Seaford sits in Lewes, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Lewes at 9.7 times median local earnings of £39,798 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.
