The generic meaning of forstal is the land in front of a farm and its farmyard. Tgdesignerhomes have created a haven of stunning contemporary homes that are reminiscent of Kentish rural architecture but with a modern interpretation, set in a magical location.

Careful consideration is always given to the use of space, light and high quality finishes as well as ensuring each home feels unique and suited to the needs of modern living.
