Description

Fallow Wood is a delightful woodland in a very quiet and secluded location near the village of Netherfield in Rother, East Sussex. The woodland is found to the west of the village, just to the north of Darwell Hill. and benefits from two access points, each with a track made up of a mixture of stone and hard packed earth which should provide year-round access (dependent on the vehicle type).

This woodland is a good mix of conifer species, planted as a commercial crop, along with a lovely mix of broadleaves that should tick boxes for a lot of people. The broadleaves are mostly mature oak (with some incredible old trees dotted throughout that look like they must be in excess of 250 years!), silver birch, ash, sycamore, field maple, holly and the occasional hawthorn too and these can be mostly found in the eastern part of the woodland. The conifers are grouped in two main blocks, one consists of larch and the other western hemlock, both of these areas were planted as a commercial investment and have been managed well so will produce a nice amount of timber income when they are felled. There is a small area of very mature western red cedar just off the main track to the north, and these are probably remnants of trees that grew here before the current species.

A small cabin with a covered decking area was built over ten years ago by the current owner for tool storage and as a wet weather shelter. This can be found nestled in amongst the mature oak trees in the eastern part of the woodland and is a lovely feature sure to be a useful bonus for future owners.

There is a mixture of plants found growing throughout the wood, of note are the bluebells in springtime under the oak trees which are a real sight to behold. The woodland is also home to a wide variety of animals, including some shy deer, grey squirrels, badgers, foxes and a wide variety of birds.

In summary, this is a wonderful woodland that offers future owners a variety of potential uses, for both amenity and commercial use. It is found nestled in the middle of a wider wooded area and is incredibly quiet and a lovely place to escape the daily grind!

If It Were Mine

The western hemlock is of an age that it could be felled in its entirety, producing a small amount of tax free income. The larch has been thinned in recent years and is probably not quite at an age nor size that it needs felling but if needed could also be felled, this would then provide an opportunity for a new owner to have a significant impact on the species growing here, opting to continue with conifers or change to broadleaves.

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