Description

Buxus Copse is an archetypal Ancient Oak wood. This beautiful woodland has an abundance of character and charm, situated a short walk from the pretty village of Northchapel, West Sussex where you can find a shop and various facilities. The bustling towns of Haslemere and Petworth are roughly equidistant at some seven miles.

Grand oak trees dominate this stunning copse, many in excess of 200 years old. The site is predominantly level with some undulation and interesting topographical features to the east, where there is an area of dense pole stage ash and birch to be found. Other tree species include cherry, beech and occasional alder.

 A recently upgraded hard-surfaced access track, suitable for a 2WD car runs along two sides of the wood, convenient for onward management, including timber extraction. A powerline runs north to south through the woodland, providing a useful strip of open ground.

A small paddock lies to the south of the wood, sheltered by a fringe of yew and laurel. This shelterbelt provides a sense of privacy and would make a great place for den building and wildlife watching. An historic bund lined with yew passes through the wood in this location. Scattered throughout the understorey are hazel, honeysuckle and holly shrubs, and to the centre of the wood a large box shrub is growing beneath a lovely old oak. Ferns include scaly male and broad buckler and in spring there are pockets of bluebells and primroses.

If It Were Mine

Buxus Copse has excellent amenity value, a perfect woodland for a young family. There is a decent supply of sustainable firewood for the hearth, and tranquil surroundings to enjoy, rich with flora and fauna. I would consider some gentle thinning of the oak in the long-term, many of which are excellent quality.

Please be aware some management operations may require a licence and/or permissions.
