A rare 3.5-acre parcel of largely woodland set just off Frieth Road, only about three miles from Marlow town centre. The site lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is registered Ancient Woodland, offering immediate seclusion, established trees and small clearings suited to recreational, educational or private enjoyment.
Vehicle access is direct from the highway through two double-width five-bar gates. There are a handful of temporary structures on site — a rustic cabin with log burner, pergola, sheds, WC shed and a storage container — and a water connection is present. The land has previously been used for outdoor education, Duke of Edinburgh activities and informal recreation.
Important practical points: there is no mains electricity, gas or sewerage on site, mobile signal is absent and broadband speeds are very slow. The Ancient Woodland and AONB designations make conventional development highly unlikely; buyers should not assume planning permissions or that existing buildings are lawful. The plot is offered freehold and viewing is strictly by appointment only.
This holding will suit someone seeking a private rural retreat, a managed woodland for leisure or conservation, or an investor/enthusiast wanting a rare AONB/Ancient Woodland parcel close to Marlow. Due diligence is essential — check rights, services and permitted use before purchase.
