Brockhill Wood is a substantial tract of ancient woodland on the north‑west fringe of Redditch, offered in freehold. The wood contains a mix of hardwood and softwood, mature rides suitable for machinery, and has been thinned and maintained historically for timber production. Sporting rights are included, and the site has direct gated access off Brockhill Lane with a hardstanding track.
The lack of public rights of way gives the purchaser control over access and a high degree of privacy — an advantage for managed timber extraction, private recreation, or nature conservation. The wood is fenced on its boundaries with internal boundary markers in place; it is not designated as SSSI but is classed as Ancient Woodland. Local contractors experienced in timber management and harvesting are available nearby.
Practical considerations: an Esso high‑pressure oil pipeline easement runs alongside the main access track and will affect use adjacent to that corridor. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow despite excellent mobile signal. The immediate area shows higher deprivation levels and the wider classification is rural employment and retirees, which may influence future development or public investment. Tenure and council tax details are not provided and should be confirmed.
This property suits purchasers seeking a large private woodland holding with timber and sporting potential, or investors looking for a managed rural asset close to road and rail links. Buyers should commission their own surveys and checks on the easement, title details, and any management obligations before purchase.
