Description

Chilmington Copse is a charming amenity woodland located on a level site in peaceful rural Kent, roughly 4 miles to the west of Ashford and Greater London approximately 2 hours away.  

Rich loamy clay soils have created a marvellous and diverse mix of mature broadleaf and conifer species including Scots pine, larch, Norway spruce, ash, hornbeam and sweet chestnut. Some very grand oak specimens fringe the northern boundary. The lower canopy includes an attractive blend of birch, hornbeam regeneration and some younger Norway spruce. Decorating the woodland floor is an array of fine mosses and fungi for the weekend botanist such as common striated feather-moss, fox-tail feather-moss, turkey tail and golden scalycap to name just a few. As well as abundant melodic songbird, there is a great amount of activity from local badger and roe deer populations inhabiting the area.

Towards the northern boundary, a dry brook runs from west to east adding pleasant contrast to the topography of the plot. An open space also occupies the south west corner that would make an ideal location for camping or woodland activities.

This lovely property has excellent and easy access via road side frontage off a secluded country lane.

If It Were Mine

If I were fortunate enough to be the new owner of this piece of woodland, I would firstly construct a small wooden bridge crossing the brook. I would also spend as many weekends as I could enjoying BBQs with friends and family during the warmer months. There is also plenty of opportunity to keep the aspiring woodsman occupied, perhaps gathering some firewood for the winter.

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