5 bed detached house for sale

The Forestry Road, Billingshurst RH14

Set quietly within 20 acres of its own woodland on the Surrey and Sussex border, this is not just a house. It is a private world.

A contemporary country estate where glass, light and sustainably sourced timber sit gently within the landscape. Designed and crafted by a distinguished German architectural developer with over a century of expertise, the home combines precision engineering with natural warmth.

The structure is built using advanced timber construction, chosen for its strength, longevity and low environmental impact. It feels solid yet calm. Modern yet deeply connected to nature.

Powered by geothermal energy, the house provides constant underfloor heating and hot water without fossil fuels. High performance glazing, exceptional insulation and south facing roofs prepared for solar ensure remarkable efficiency throughout the seasons.

Wake to birdsong in your own woodland. Walk your land in total privacy. Return to a home that is warm, quiet and built to last.

Sustainable. Substantial. Serene.
