Summary - Broad Lane, Upper Bucklebury, Reading, Berkshire, RG7 RG7 6QL
1 bed 1 bath Land
Productive timber woodland in AONB with long lease and accessible internal tracks.
77.20 acres of managed woodland, mainly conifers with oak and sweet chestnut
Blacklands Copse is a substantial, productive managed woodland of 77.20 acres set within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Principally stocked with conifers and mixed broadleaves (including oak and sweet chestnut), the wood is currently managed for commercial timber yield and offers immediate amenity and recreational value alongside income potential from future fellings.
The parcel benefits from a 15ft-wide right of way from Broad Lane and a network of internal tracks and rides, making the site accessible for forestry operations and leisure. Tenure is leasehold: a 999-year lease commenced in 1954 and 928 years remain, with a nominal historic ground rent. No services are connected to the land.
Important constraints are straightforward: part of the wood is designated Plantation on an Ancient Woodland Site (PAWS), and the site lies within an AONB, which will significantly limit development prospects and require careful ecological and planning consideration. A small Ministry of Defence monitoring device is present on the property, and the woodland is sold subject to all existing rights, wayleaves and easements including a public bridleway along the western boundary.
For buyers seeking a large rural asset, this parcel suits timber investors, private woodland owners and conservation-minded purchasers. The holding offers immediate forestry management in place, strong biodiversity value and substantial long-term asset potential, but it is not suitable for conventional building development without specific and likely constrained consents.
