Low Canopy Wood, near Horsham, West Sussex. 1.73 acres (approx.) of Oak woodland £17,000 freehold [#118]

Low Canopy Wood was planted around 25 years ago with Oak. It has grown well since then and could be considered for some careful formative pruning over the next few years to improve the quality of the trees. There are a few mature broadleaved trees throughout the woodland and along the edges, greatly adding to the landscape value.

Other broadleaves include Ash, Hornbeam and Field Maple. All the trees are growing well and showing good growth rates in the fertile loamy clay soils over sandstone found in this woodland.

Wildlife and conservation are of particular interest here, with many species of wild plants and flowers, as well as many birds and small mammals. Buzzards, Hawks and Owls are common, and the local herd of Roe Deer can be seen on nearly every visit.

Access is from the A281 onto a private tarmac road that leads onto the forest road. The forest road leads right up to the woodland on the northern and eastern boundary, and a good grass track runs the length of the western boundary.

From Horsham head west on the A29. About 3 miles out of town the A29 will turn south at a roundabout, and the A281 will continue due west. Take the A281 westbound here.

After just over 1000 metres, turn right of the A281 onto a private tarmac drive signposted for Furnace Lake Carp Fishery. Drive up this drive for about 100 metres and turn right at a gravelled area through a woodland gate with our “for sale” sign on. Please shut the gate behind you.

Continue on the forest road for about 400 metres, round a couple of bends, until you get to the first hard forest road going off to the right (point B on the plan below).

Turn right here and continue for another 250 metres until you get to a wooden post with a white and green painted top on your left hand side. This is point C on the plan below.

The forest road then continues along the northern boundary and turns south down the eastern boundary (point D on the plan). Lower Canopy finishes when you see another post with a white and green painted top (point E).
