Description

Penny Wood lies on a flat site surrounded by woodland to all sides. The majority of the woodland is composed of beech with a dense skirt of larch to its outer reaches. The beech are estimated to be about 40 years old and the larch around 30 years. A few birch, rowan and holly trees are peppered throughout.

The beech are turning into handsome trees and would welcome a thinning allowing them to develop further and contribute to the overall structure and feel of this designated Ancient Woodland. This will produce a good supply of firewood for the home. The larch is well stocked resulting in tall slender stems suitable for producing some nice straight timber or fencing stakes.

The woodland floor is unencumbered as the beech leaf litter restricts most vegetation, however in the spring there are a few scattered areas of bluebells.

In spring the wood is alive with birdsong giving way at dusk to the sights and sounds of the nocturnal inhabitants including badgers, foxes and bats. There is a healthy population of roe deer and muntjac deer seen in the surrounding area at dusk and dawn. Cars can be driven to a private hard-standing area within the wood thanks to a newly upgraded all-weather forest track, which will also facilitate small-volume timber extraction.

An overage clause on this property provides for 25% of the increase in the value of the land upon the granting of planning permission to be paid to a previous owner up until April 2020. After this the overage clause lapses.

If It Were Mine

The woodland has quite a high density of trees and would welcome a thinning if a new owner so desired, favouring the trees with the best form. Then I would install bat and bird boxes to encourage the wildlife.

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