It's close to Etchingham, which has a mainline train station, and Burwash, and both of these villages are also very popular, a fact reflected in the property prices.
The countryside 'round here is quite unspoilt and these villages, although part of commuter land, have managed to retain their sense of identity.
During the 1800s and into the 20th century the village of Hurst Green boomed as a local centre with a variety of shops and small businesses.
However, the village is far more residential now and with the advent of commuting has really become a very sleepy little place.
One of its delights is the beautiful gardens at Merriments, created during the early 1990s and now a stunning four-acre amenity with a nursery, pond, wild area and gravel garden.
Property: Property in general is of an older style with a large number of weather-boarded and tile-hung period cottages making each of the villages rather picturesque.
In the lanes surrounding the villages there are a number of far larger houses with land. In Etchingham there has been a good sized development of newer family properties near to the station.
Buyers: Owing to the very good road and train links to the city the area is very popular with commuters and accordingly rather expensive.
The unspoilt nature of the countryside and the abundance of larger traditional homes appeals to families and as such the area is not generally very popular with first-time buyers but is rather somewhere that people aspires to.
Shopping: Hurst Green has the usual mix of local shops and pubs, while Etchingham's 150 year old shop has recently been saved by local people.
Amenities: Nearby Etchingham has a village hall and cricket club.
Food and Drink: There is a mix of restaurants in Burwash including a very good Chinese as well as the usual small pubs.
Train: The nearest train station is at Etchingham with a regular 20 minute service to London during the rush hour.
Road: Situated on the narrow part of the A21 the village is linked to Hastings to the south and the M25 to the North.
