Never lived in EG but have lived under the Heathrow flight paths on and off since about 2005 (windsor then lambeth).
You can solve the problem of noise in the house with double glazing / leaving radio 4 on the whole time.
But I'd never move back to a 'country' house under a flight path. If the idea is to have a garden and enjoy spending time in it, I couldn't do that with constant plane noise. You also can't rule out Gatwick expansion despite recent reports.
Anyone live in/near East Grinstead? Had to drive up their to the children's surgery ward thing the other day and really liked the villages around it. Ashdown Forest seemed lovely and wondering pros and cons of living under a flight path.
