Description

Adze Wood rests north of the village of Northchapel in rural West Sussex, approximately an hour and twenty minutes from London and is located within a serene wider wooded area.

Situated on level loam over clay soil, the canopy largely consists of majestic oak standards (most of which are of an exceptional quality), lofty sweet chestnut coppice and birch. The lush shrub below encompasses holly and hazel; a new owner could certainly utilise the hazel as this is a common species used in bushcraft. Ribbons of bluebell, wood anemone, primrose and dog’s mercury embellish the ground layer, looking particularly lovely come spring. 

Bucolic views are enjoyed looking north from the woodland; I would consider making a space here to camp and BBQ with family and friends, soaking up the views during the warmer months.

Woodland mammals including deer (roe and fallow), badger, hare and fox have all been spotted. A variety of feathered guests such as buzzard, treecreeper, woodpecker, long eared owl and various harmonious songsters revel in the tranquillity offered here.

Adze Wood benefits from good vehicular access along a hard track suitable for a 2WD vehicle which forks and extends in both directions along its southern boundary, convenient for light woodland maintenance.

If It Were Mine

Yielding some sweet chestnut logs for my open fire at home would be a priority. It would be pretty magical to hang a hammock from some sturdy trees somewhere along the north, looking out to rural West Sussex on a summer’s eve. Spotting wildlife and den making with the children would be a lovely way to make memories.     

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