Description
Culm Wood occupies level and gently sloping ground above the Culme Valley near Uffculme. The market town of Cullompton is 5 miles to the southwest. Junction 27 of the M5 is ten minutes away giving easy access up-country or to Exeter.
The centre of the wood was planted about 15 years ago with a mix of sycamore, beech and Corsican pine. The fringes have a wider range of species including ash, beech, oak, birch and willow, whilst some older specimens adorn the roadside edge - principally ash, beech and sycamore. Shrubs are scarce (mostly elder) beneath which is a woodland floor of woodrush and fern which gives way to brambles near the centre.
Culm Wood has its own private access track directly off the adjacent public road. As well as giving good access to the larger part of the wood, it also leads to the shed at the west corner. This substantial block building (aprox 3.5m x 15m) needs re-roofing, after which it will provide a useful and secure store.
The woodland occupies the site of a former local tip which was covered, soil capped and then planted with trees - hence the rise in terrain towards the centre. An indemnity policy is in place to cover remediation if ever it were needed.
The combination of emerging trees, good access, attractive location and the large shed means this property offers plenty of scope for a wide range of woodland interests.
If It Were Mine
My first job would be to re-roof the shed. Turning to the trees, I’d remove the remaining tubes, brash some of the pine and also tackle some of the dense undergrowth areas near the centre of the wood.
