The Experience

In a clearing in the forest, surrounded by leafy Wildlife Trust reserve, is a simple, contemporary, architect-designed home, a place to unwind and recharge. Spanning two floors, the living area is above, the bedrooms are below and the palest of pale flooring (solid oak) runs throughout. All is serene.

Upstairs is open plan and there are two lovely decks for summery meals, one at each end. Airy by day, cosy by night – the wood-stove glows, the floors are toasty – this charming cabin-house is a comfortable retreat, with more heated floors in bedrooms and super-mod bathrooms.

Wild boar and deer roam, rabbits scamper, birds sing. Stroll one mile to Beckley for a pub or to Peasmarsh for Jempson’s, a super independent supermarket, if you run out of stores. Bexhill is along the coast, and quirky, literary Rye is 15 minutes.

Reviews

A beautiful modern secluded property in the heart of the woods! Ideal location to chill out. Would highly recommend. And well behaved dogs are welcome to.

Yas, London Nov 2022

We stayed at this beautiful house in the woods as the leaves were falling. What an amazing location, literally in the forest - in every direction there are magical walks through the trees. The house itself is impeccably designed and furnished - not at all fussy but with attention paid to the important things - comfortable furnishings - the lighting is lovely - the bedrooms are cosy with excellent beds. After a just a few days we felt replenished and re-energised, I'd recommend it to anyone as an idyllic get away.

Frederick, London Oct 2022

Our family have been visiting Boxwood for many years now and have probably been over 10 times. It's a beautiful house in an incredible woodland setting and is the perfect place to relax. It has easy access to Rye, Camber Sands, Bodiam Castle, all of which are brilliant for kids, and also to several respected vineyards, including the very nearby Tillingham which is also a great pace for dinner. Tim the owner has always been very helpful and resolved any issues promptly and without fuss. We can't recommend Boxwood enough and will be returning every year for the foreseeable future!

Location

The neighbourhood

You're utterly surrounded by deep and ancient oak and beech with paths criss-crossing through, so walkers can stride for miles and children can build dens and threaten each other with sticks for hours – you'll come across the odd dog walker. There's no public transport either with the nearest railway station at Rye five miles away. Here you can also explore the harbour and visit antique shops.

Local points of interest from Tim Bushe

The grounds and surrounding woods are a paradise for bird watching. Butterflies, Moths, Mayflies, bats, Munjac deer and if you are lucky Wild Boar, which can sometimes be seen at dusk.
In spring the grounds are full of Daffodils and the Rhododendron and Azalea bushes are truly spectacular when in blossom. We have Great Dixter on our doorstep where you can visit one of the beautiful gardens in the UK, created by Christopher Lloyd.
On the nearby coast we have Rye Harbour nature reserve - one of the most serene bits of coastline on the south east. Camber, is the nearest large sandy beach to London and and by contrast Winchelsea has a beautiful quiet pebble beach.
Hastings, with its heady mix of beach activities, fascinating quirky shops and cinemas is less than 30 mins away and now has the new Jerwood Art Gallery on the harbour front. Bexhill and the De La Warr pavilion are just a little further along the coast.
For the sports enthusiasts, there are golf courses at Rye and Hastings and a pitch and putt at Tenterden. Sumptuous grass tennis courts at Rye Tennis Club, which allow visitors to pay and play and plenty of fishing sites in the rivers and lakes nearby.
One of the best preserved medieval towns in England, Rye is home to the enchanting cobbled Mermaid Street, the impressive Norman church of St Mary’s, specialist shops and a thriving fishing fleet. Rye has a new kino cinema with two screens and a cafe.
