DURRANT VILLAGE Durrants is a picturesque community set within 30 acres of private parkland complete with a lake, bluebell woods, and wildflower meadow.

It offers 171 two and three-bedroom cottages and spacious two-bedroom apartments.

Beyond the village itself you will find delightful hamlets dating back to the 16th Century, with pretty market towns, independent shops, farm shops, garden centres and some excellent gastropubs.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of the rolling Sussex Downs. The landscape as diverse as it is breathtaking.

Location & History Spend just a little time in the area and it’s easy to see why it was a favourite escape for the elite in the 1800s.

Nestled within green belt countryside near the charming market town of Horsham, Durrants Village enjoys a setting that’s both peaceful and picturesque—surrounded by some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the region.

Built on the site of a former sawmill in the historic hamlet of Faygate, the village is steeped in character.

Faygate itself first appeared in records as early as 1614, and its past is laced with intrigue.

A story published in the London papers that same year claimed a fearsome serpent—or dragon—lurked in the surrounding forests.

While dramatic, this tale may have been a clever ruse to deter outsiders from venturing into the woods, which were known to be a haven for smugglers throughout the 17th and 18th centuries.

In mere minutes, you can find yourself immersed in the rolling beauty of the South Downs, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Yet, you’re also perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of urban life. Stylish boutiques, high street favourites, and top-rated restaurants are all within easy reach. Looking to venture further?

The South Coast—Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing, and beyond—is effortlessly accessible. And for international travel, Gatwick Airport is less than 20 minutes away.

It’s no surprise this district consistently ranks among the top 10 places to live in the UK.

A nearby mainline railway station connects you to a world of possibilities—whether it’s a day in London or a weekend getaway.

Wellbeing For added peace of mind, all apartments and cottages have been fitted with a 24/7 call system with on call support system available around the clock if needed.
