As one of the leading new house builders in the UK, River Oaks homes are spacious and beautifully designed, offering the ultimate in quality construction. These houses incorporate many of the classic features found in vernacular styles in Sussex, including solid timber porches, doors and staircases, evidence of the craftsmanship which goes into every house we build.

One of the most attractive features of our homes is the light and airy feeling created by the large windows and high ceilings. The houses are designed for minimal upkeep and maximum energy efficiency.

Purchasers will be given the opportunity to personalise their home by choosing from a superior range of kitchen units, wall tiling and emulsion colours, subject to the appropriate stage of construction, and providing an exchange of contracts has taken place.

Each property comes with a NHBC ten year builders' warranty, and River Oaks Ltd gives an uncompromising commitment to the quality of service that only specialist housebuilders from the UK can provide.

River Oaks is a family company which takes great pride in the quality of building it offers.
