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.
