Description

Meadow Bank, as the name suggests, sits on a bank fronted by a picturesque meadow. This mainly oak woodland has a sunny south-westerly aspect and several spots of level ground, with lovely views over a paddock and surrounding countryside - perfect for pitching a tent.

The southwest part of Meadow Bank is level and well-stocked with high quality oak; some light thinning has taken place several years ago, but there remains an ample supply should a new owner wish to extract some useful timber.

Other species within the wood include sweet chestnut, holly, maple, birch with attractive veteran beech on the boundaries. The understorey has a lovely dappled light, with a variety of ferns and honeysuckle in places.

The woodland is accessed via a hard track, suitable for a 2WD vehicle and is a mile or two away from the small village of Northchapel, West Sussex. The historic town of Petworth is around eight miles south.

Wildlife is to be found everywhere, wildflowers include bluebells and primroses whilst birds include buzzards, owls, woodland warblers and associates. There are often deer spotted darting through the wood.

If It Were Mine

A light thinning of some mature oak and coppicing of the sweet chestnut is certainly an option, the amenity value of the wood is clear with opportunities for wild camping, woodland crafts and observing the abundant wildlife.

Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
