Meet Stephen & Jane
Stephen grew up on a farm in Kent and Jane is a city girl at heart having grown up in London. They bought Downash Wood as a family retreat, while their kids finished their schooling in South London. Their son dreamt of a treehouse in the woodland, so Stephen spent the next three years obtaining planning permission and building their dream secluded treehouses and cabins to share with guests.
Wildlife & Environment
The treehouses and cabins are set within five acres of deciduous woodland known as Downash Wood. Downash Wood is bordered by Bewl Water Reservoir on the north side and Tinkers Lane on the south side. The land is on the borders of Kent and East Sussex, close to three ancient settlements of Three Leg Cross to the West, Ticehurst to the South and Flimwell to the East. Resident deer, active badger setts, plenty of pheasants and rabbits can be found at Downash Wood. Buzzards, woodpeckers, barn owls and other birds can be spotted, and butterflies at the right time of year. There are meadow areas with a variety of grasses and wild flowers.
