Leechpool Wood, Horsham, West Sussex. 4.73 acres (approx.) of mixed mature woodland and paddock £66,500 freehold [#143].

Leechpool Wood is a small amenity woodland with a sheltered paddock adjacent. A stream (a tributary of the Arun) meanders its way along the boundary of the wood and  then exits the property and runs just outside the paddock fence. There is a pond in the paddock that was originally fed by the stream, and could so again with a small amount of excavation.

All the trees in the woodland and three trees in the paddock are subject to a council Tree Preservation Order. This does not prevent good woodland management, but any felling or pruning must be approved by the council tree officer in advance.

The woodland contains a fascinating mixture of tree species of varying ages. The canopy is dominated by large mature Oak and Corsican Pine, but there are many other species present including Ash, Alder, Sweet Chestnut, Beech, Hornbeam, Sycamore, Birch, Hazel and Willow. The understorey is heavily dominated by Holly and the woodland would benefit from a degree of its clearance.

The property is accessed through its own private gate, from a private road (Hampers Lane) which is located in a residential area on the eastern edge of Horsham. Through the gate you enter the paddock area, which would be ideal for grazing a pony. The woodland is then accessed from one end of the paddock, over the stream.

There is a small pedestrian access at the back of the woodland onto a bridle path, but there is no public access inside the woodland. There is a right of way for the woodland along the bridle path, and this could possibly be used as a machinery access route if it is ever needed.

There are covenants that affect this property. Details of the covenants can be viewed by clicking on the button below.

The padlock combination is 1360. Please insure that you lock the gate when you leave.
