The host site

Furnace Brook Farm

A six-acre lake and the woodland reviving around it

A spring-fed, six-acre lake sits at the heart of this Sussex smallholding, ringed by woodland and wet meadow that the owners are slowly bringing back to life. There is always a margin to plant, a hide to build, or a coppice to cut.
