Description

Part of a much wider woodland known as Bredhurst Wood, Anglia Wood is situated on a south-easterly aspect in rural Kent, a short distance northeast of Maidstone.

This lovely woodland located on fertile well drained lime over chalk soils has shaped a mature canopy consisting of majestic beech, oak, ash, cherry, Norway spruce and hornbeam. Below, a lush shrub layer comprises hazel coppice, birch, yew, hawthorn, sycamore and beech regeneration. An area of the copse towards the southeast is Ancient Woodland, meaning this area has had continuous tree cover since the 1600s. Patches of bluebell (an indicator of Ancient Woodland), primrose, wild rose and occasional purple orchid add vibrancy to the ground cover throughout the year.

Most unusually there are three vintage cars within the wood; a Ford Anglia and two Ford Cortinas. These could potentially become interesting restoration projects for a keen classic car enthusiast come woodsman!

Anglia Wood enjoys a rich wildlife population – frequent visitors include badger, yellow-necked mouse, fox, dormouse, buzzard, sparrowhawk, greenfinch, cuckoo and treecreeper.  

This manageable woodland presents an opportunity for an aspirant new owner to produce a stock of domestic fuel as well as a delightful location to sit and observe wildlife, perhaps near the northeast boundary looking out to the farmland views and beyond.

We are informed there is an Article 4 direction on the woodland, which we believe the order prohibits fencing, caravans and temporary camping.

If It Were Mine

I would firstly open up the right of way access so I could drive my 4WD to the woodland. As a keen vintage car enthusiast, I would be keen to remove this and perhaps restore it to former glory, possibly to racing specification.

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

Rights Of Way

The current owners access the woodland on foot along the bridle way and footpath from White Hill Road (point A). For viewing purposes, please also use this access from point A. The byway (GF) leading to Anglia Wood has a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) on it and any vehicle using it must obtain a permit from Kent County Council. Once a permit has been obtained, a lock combination code can be provided to a new owner by Kent County Council.  
• There is a public footpath parallel to the southeast border, 8 metres from the boundary edge.
• A shared maintenance clause covers all the rights of way with liability according to use.

Tree Preservation Order
