When it comes to new build homes, Sussex has so much to offer. From breath-taking natural beauty to an abundance of family-friendly outdoor activities, the area has plenty to appeal to homebuyers seeking a new property in an outstanding location.
Our new homes in East Sussex highlight the value of choosing a property in such an idyllic setting. Collectively known as the ‘Crowborough Collection,’ our homes at Fallow Wood and The Brambles provide easy access to the vast Ashdown Forest, in the heart of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Covering 560 square miles with its ancient trees and heathland, it is the fourth largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England and Wales.
As the highest town in the High Weald AONB, Crowborough occupies a prime position for enjoying extensive views across the stunning surrounding landscape. Yet homes in the town offer far more than the opportunity to gaze delightedly out of the window – as our Crowborough Collection ably demonstrates.
At Fallow Wood, the boutique collection of four detached homes is just a short distance from Crowborough High Street. Offering both three- and four-bedroom homes, each of the individual properties showcase our signature craftsmanship and superior specification.
Fallow Wood is the perfect side of Crowborough for families seeking an active lifestyle. The Ashdown Forest riding school, Crowborough Beacon Golf Club and Crowborough Tennis and Squash Club cater to a range of interests, while cyclists can enjoy high-energy thrills on two wheels at The Bull Track. For an active day out with a difference, there’s shooting and archery in a beautiful woodland setting just ten minutes from Crowborough at Go Wild at The Warren.
When the weather doesn’t inspire spending time outdoors, Crowborough still has plenty to offer. Darkmaster Escape Rooms delivers an award-winning escape room experience, testing mental agility and teamwork to the max, while Crowborough Leisure Centre has everything from swimming and gym facilities to indoor cycling, mind and body classes, badminton, pickleball, table tennis and five-a-side football.
Also in Crowborough and perfectly located for enjoying this plethora of activities, The Brambles is our development in Sussex that offers 26 outstanding properties on Hadlow Down Road. The current phase here includes three-bedroom chalet-style bungalows and houses with two to four bedrooms, with a small selection of two-bedroom apartments set to launch in the Spring. The homes’ timeless architecture and contemporary interiors ensure each look beautiful both inside and out, while the convenient location puts Crowborough’s shops and eateries within easy reach.
Foodies will find an excellent selection of gastropubs and popular Asian restaurants in Crowborough, along with amazing Italian flavours at local institution Donna Maria. For seasonal delicacies and special occasions, Mount Edgcumbe Restaurant in Royal Tunbridge Wells, just nine miles from Crowborough, is a natural choice. The restaurant won a 2024 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award as a result of its imaginative offering of British and European dishes.
Having the spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells so close to home provides buyers of the Crowborough Collection with additional benefits. In addition to a cluster of luxurious spas, the town is home to a wide selection of shopping opportunities, including The Pantiles – 70+ independent stores set within a pretty Georgian colonnade – and Royal Victoria Place, which is home to well-known big brands. Trendy bars and restaurants, two theatres and ample leisure and entertainment facilities mean there’s always something interesting to do.
When all the excitement gets too much, families can immerse themselves in nature for a spot of ‘forest bathing’ to wash away the stresses of modern life. Ashdown Forest, famous for being the inspiration behind the Hundred Acre Wood in A A Milne’s Winnie the Pooh stories, is home to many protected species and habitats. A Special Protection Area for birds and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, the forest is a glorious setting for shedding daily cares while wandering the serene heathland, as well as for teaching the next generation about the importance of conservation.
