Description

A beautiful mature oak woodland growing on a flat fertile clay site. This wood contains mainly large mature oaks, many of which will be greater than 100 years old. There is a healthy understorey of young oak and ash seedlings as well as many minor tree species such as field maple, hazel, holly and birch.

The woodland has the benefit of a very peaceful location, well away from the village. It has good access along a private tarmac road and then an excellent new hard woodland road. The good sized shed is a valuable asset to any new owner and perfect for storing wood and tools.

A meadow runs from the wood to the road under the power cables. A slight hummock in the ground can be seen running through here and then inside the woodland along its eastern boundary. This is the remains of the old “Deer Pale”, which we are told was the boundary of a deer park when this land was part of a much larger estate many years ago.

The meadow has been planted with a dozen heritage apple trees to create an orchard which looks most appealing during the warmer months and provides a useful open space.

Deer Park Wood is full of wildlife, including a local herd of fallow deer that can be seen on a regular basis. The woodland is designated as Ancient Semi Natural Woodland, indicating continuous woodland cover since 1600 AD. Hampshire County Council has recently designated the wood as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation.
