The house has been thoughtfully designed to remain as hidden as possible from neighbouring properties, blending seamlessly into its woodland setting. Drawing inspiration from traditional local barns, Forest Retreat features a brick plinth and black-painted timber cladding, grounding the building in its rural context.
Green roofs and carefully selected materials further enhance the home’s ability to merge with its natural surroundings, creating a retreat that respects and reflects the beauty of the landscape.
Forest Retreat stands as a harmonious blend of modern design and sustainable living, offering a tranquil and environmentally conscious escape in the heart of Surrey’s countryside.
