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.
Cheers, grew up near Windsor but I guess I just grew up 'used to' Heathrow noises so never really contemplated it but not too many 747s taking off in/around Brighton so am a bit out of touch.
