East Wartling Wood, Herstmonceux, near Hailsham, East Sussex. 18 acres (approx.) of mature broadleaved woodland £79,000 freehold [#117]

An attractive mature woodland of mixed broadleaves, mainly large Oak, with an understorey of Sweet Chestnut coppice. There are also other broadleaved species scattered through the wood, including Ash, Sycamore, Birch, Willow and Hornbeam. All the trees are growing well on the light fertile mineral soils.

Wildlife and conservation are of particular interest in this woodland, with many species of wild plants and flowers, as well as many birds, deer and small mammals. Buzzards, Hawks, and Owls are common. A local population of Roe Deer can be occasionally seen. A lot of the woodland is covered with bluebells in the springtime. Grey squirrels are abundant, and the woodland would benefit from a level of control.

The woodland is on a flat site with good access through a private gate. This woodland is in a very quiet location and ideal for peaceful recreational activities.

From Hailsham head east on the A271. Drive through the villages of Herstmonceux and then Windmill Hill. Soon after you leave Windmill Hill take the first right, signposted for Herstmonceux Castle and Wartling. This is Wartling Road.

Drive down Wartling Road for 0.8 miles and take the first left turn into Wood Lane (with a red post box on the corner).

After 250 metres you will see our For Sale sign by a gate on your right. Drive on a short way past this to the next junction on the right. A gate on your right hand side on this junction is the access gate to East Wartling Wood, point A on the plan below.

Please park on the side of the road where you will not be blocking access. The gate is locked and I’m sorry but we do not send out keys for viewing, so you will have to climb the gate.
