SITUATION The woodland is readily accessible from Junction 10A on the M23 and lies 1.5 miles north of Balcombe, Handcross is 3.5 miles to the west, Haywards Heath 7 miles and East Grinstead to the east 9 miles.
DESCRIPTION Forming part of a larger block of woodland this compact parcel in a quiet and unspoilt location, yet readily accessible, was previously in a Sweet Chestnut coppicing programme. Much now is overshot, however there is a wide mix of other broadleaves including veteran Oaks, Silver birch and Hazel coppice giving the area a special character. Much clearance was done after the 1987 storm and further work has been done to keep on top of the Rhododendrons and Ash Dieback problem.
On the south-east side there is a newly deer fenced 4 acre site planted up with a mix of native broadleaves and some conifer and shrub species in 2020 that vividly illustrates the woodland's potential for future growth and regeneration once deer have been excluded from access to the whole site by deer fencing.
A wide double gated access off the adjoining country lane opens to an extensive open timber yard with a hard surface. There are limited access rides through the woodland (generally not following the routes shown on the plan). There are no buildings.
The woodland is in a Countryside Stewardship Agreement and under a Woodland Management Plan, further details of which are available from the Agents.
PLAN The plan attached is for identification purposes only. The northern and north-western boundaries are largely unfenced – the southern end being fenced against the main London-Victoria railway line emerging from a tunnel and the adjoining farmland. The Vendors will be under no obligation to define them.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
