Highwood Mill is an extra care housing scheme embedded in the heart of a new 2,000 home master plan, located on the edge of the market town of Horsham. There are 105 high-quality apartments for people over 55 along with a communal hub for the whole community.

The site is located adjacent to the river Adur where historically numerous watermills were located; a building form and scale that translates successfully to the four storey massing of the extra care building, celebrating the site’s history and providing a nostalgic conversation piece for residents and visitors.
