Around Lewes.
Lewes is the county town of East Sussex, a hilly historic town with a castle, the Harveys brewery, and a strong independent culture, famously shown in its bonfire night celebrations and its own local currency. Its housing is heavily period, with flint cottages and Georgian townhouses, much of it in conservation areas. Customers expect careful, sympathetic work on older buildings and are drawn to firms with local character. A site that names surrounding villages like Kingston, Ringmer and Barcombe works well.
Closest to Lewes within the Lewes council area: Peacehaven (5 miles), Newhaven (6 miles) and Seaford (8 miles). Elsewhere in East Sussex: Uckfield (8 miles), Hailsham (11 miles) and Polegate (11 miles). Just over the council boundary, Burgess Hill (9 miles) and Haywards Heath (10 miles) are close by. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
