Description

Located amongst a wider gated woodland recognised as Leapingbar Copse, Roly Wood is a short distance north west of Guildford in semi-rural Surrey.  

Sited on level sandy loamy clays, the mature canopy principally comprises of Scots pine and majestic Douglas fir. Known to grow beyond 90 metres tall, the species is renowned for superb timber quality with a variety of uses including cladding and joinery. Many of the stems are of superb quality with good girth. In addition, there is also a blend of broadleaves towards the north western boundary including sweet chestnut, oak and birch. A new owner could consider some planks for woodcraft, making use of the Forestry Commission thinning licence already in place.

In the shrub layer below you will find colourful rhododendron, a smattering of younger Douglas fir and holly. During drier months, spots of primrose, foxglove, bracken and flowering heather add an extra element to the ground layer; heather could be collected and used as a botanical for home infused gin. Close to the north western boundary are the vestiges of a historic military track (from nearby Pirbright Barracks), this was probably employed for hauling heavy arms.

Mammals and feathered guests consist of deer – both muntjac and roe - field mouse, hare, badger, fox, little owl, redpoll, woodpecker and a variety of harmonious songsters.

Roly Wood is accessed through a locked steel gate with a stone track that leads into the woodland and is suitable all year-round with a 2WD vehicle.

There is an Article 4 direction on the wider woodland including Roly Wood which means that permitted development rights which normally apply for any improvement to, or installation of, gates/fences/walls have been removed and full planning permission should be sought.


If It Were Mine

A camping spot near the magnificent Douglas fir would be a delight, the aroma from these is wonderful! Perhaps some chestnut logs would be yielded for the log burner at home. I would also think about milling a conifer or two on site for joinery projects on the go at home.
