A rare chance to buy a one-acre amenity woodland plot within a much larger ancient-woodland landscape in the Kent Downs National Landscape. The plot forms part of over 600 acres of mixed oak, ash, hornbeam and yew, with established wildflower groundcover including bluebells and orchids. Wildlife is abundant (deer, badgers, butterflies), and public footpaths and bridleways run nearby.
The parcel is accessed from Hurstwood Road with limited parking at Bredhurst Village Hall. Vehicle access is restricted on site, so the land is best suited to walkers, conservation uses, low-impact recreation or as an investment holding. A range of potential uses may be possible subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
Practical details: the price is £20,000 with monthly instalment options available. Flood risk is recorded as none, mobile signal is excellent, but fixed broadband speeds are slow. Tenure is listed as unknown — buyers should verify legal status and rights of access before purchase.
Notable local facilities include a primary school rated Good and village amenities a short walk away. The plot is approximately six miles north of Maidstone, making it an accessible countryside acquisition for those seeking ancient woodland, nature interest or a low-cost entry into land ownership.
