The woods principally contain broadleaf species with oak the predominant species with ash and an understorey of hazel. There are the occasional ash, birch and aspen. The coupes of hazel coppice are interspersed with oak standards.
Opportunities exist for buyers to generate income through thinning areas of the woods over the next 5 to 10 years. Recent thinning and clear felling has produced good oak beam timber.
The woodland takes direct road access off the Ufton to Bascote Heath road at point X. A stoned roadway leads to the centre of the woods from which grass rides provide access to the rest of the woodland.
Elevations range from about 85 metres to 110 metres above sea level. Average rainfall in the area is in the region of 666mm per annum.
The woods lie on the route of the planned High Speed 2 (HS2) railway line which will pass beneath the property in a tunnel. Construction works are underway on either side of the wood.
The woods have been managed on a commercial basis by Lockhart Garratt who will be pleased to discuss future management with prospective purchasers.
