Get to know it

Homes available.

Foxbarrow is the quietest postcode we own: twenty-eight homes in clearings among 22 acres of oak, beech and hornbeam in the High Weald. The bluebells run the show for three weeks in spring and the tawny owls take the night shift all year. If your idea of traffic is a squirrel, this is the one.

Life at Foxbarrow

What's here, on the ground.

Every Dreeym community keeps the essentials — The Hearth, a guest suite for family, a workshop, allotments, EV charging — and then adds what the land suggests.

The social heart

The Hearth.

The Hearth at Foxbarrow is half library, half log store. The fire circle outside hosts the summer solstice supper and the chestnut roast; the quiz is gentler here, allegedly.

The grounds

We start with the land.

The wood is managed the slow way: coppice rotation, standing deadwood left for the woodpeckers, and a covenant that keeps 61% of Foxbarrow as woodland and ride, for good. The homes borrow the clearings; the trees keep the freehold, so to speak.

The straight answers

Asked often, answered gladly.

The rest — the law, the ledger, the 10% rule — lives in the Open Book.

What are the fees at Foxbarrow?

The pitch fee is £185 a month, CPI-pegged — the lowest of our communities, woodland management included. Council tax Band A. Full ledger in the Open Book.

Is woodland living dark?

The homes sit in clearings, oriented for light — south glass, pale interiors. You get dappled, not dim. Come and stand in one at noon and decide.

Who owns the land?

Dreeym, outright. Home yours, plot licensed under a written Mobile Homes Act 1983 agreement.

What happens when we sell?

Open-market sale; 10% to Dreeym — capped by law, explained in daylight in the Open Book.

Getting here: Off the B2099 between Wadhurst and Ticehurst — the oak-sign lane opposite the vineyard. Sat-nav gives up at the gate; the owls don’t mind.
