Nearly 4 acres of protected broadleaf woodland in the South Downs, ideal for amenity use or coppice management..
3.95 acres of ancient and semi‑natural broadleaf woodland
Blanket Tree Preservation Order restricts tree works and felling
No services connected; no immediate utilities on site
Access via metaled track off the A285 with defined right of way
Predominant species: sweet chestnut, beech, hazel coppice
Located in South Downs National Park — planning tightly controlled
Very slow broadband; average mobile signal and average local crime
Approximately 7 miles to Chichester; rural, isolated hamlet setting
Set within the South Downs National Park, this 3.95-acre ancient and semi-natural broadleaf woodland offers a rare slice of protected countryside close to Petworth. The mix of sweet chestnut, beech and hazel coppice creates immediate amenity value for a weekend forester, nature enthusiast or long-term investment holding. Access is via a metaled track off the A285 and the plot sits about 7 miles from Chichester.
Important constraints are clear: the woodland is subject to a blanket Tree Preservation Order and there are no services connected to the land. Broadband is very slow and the location is a hamlet/isolated dwelling, so this is not suitable for immediate residential development or anyone requiring modern utilities. Boundaries follow the adjacent tracks and the A285 verge.
This is best for a buyer seeking privacy, recreational use, timber/coppice management or conservation value rather than immediate building. The property’s freehold tenure and large plot size give scope for long-term woodland management, biodiversity projects or low-impact amenity use within national park planning controls.
