Situated to the west of Chichester, just over 3.25 acres of wood and wood pastureland. The property has a mature hedged frontage to Mouthey's Lane and provides a great opportunity for a multitude of recreational uses subject to necessary consents, and / or as a small scale forestry business.

The land comprises approximately 2 acres of mixed conifer and broadleaf woodland with the remaining 1.2 acres being wood pastureland. The land benefits from a recently constructed timber framed forestry building with most of the timber used to construct the building being harvested from the adjoining woodland.

We understand the land offers potential for camping either under an exemption certificate or subject to planning permission. The site would also suit a forest school venue having recently been used as a temporary base for the local Scout Group.

The woodland is also home to a wide variety of wildlife including herds of fallow deer and has great potential for wilding or environmental enhancement.

The vendor suggests that the conifer plantation is nearly of an age, and size, to be suitable for commercial timber harvest with the hardwoods being well suited to firewood production.
