Woodland for sale
Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Shoal Wood is predominantly Scots pine on the surface but as you enter the woodland an impressive understory emerges. Chestnut is dominant but also, birch, oak, ash and holly can also be found creating a diverse visual landscape.
From the main entrance, an excellent private vehicle track winds through the neighbouring woodlands directly to the entrance to Shoal Wood. While some clearing is needed if camping there are numerous open areas that would be perfect for overnight stays in summer with family and friends or other woodland activities.
There are woodland tracks all over the site, mainly created by local deer which clearly frequent the wider Rogley Wood, of which Shoal is part. Rogley Wood is also recognised by the Forestry Commission as PAWS (Plantation on Ancient Woodland Site).
The site is very quiet and private and while there is a public footpath on the northern side of the woodland, it seems fairly unused and quite overgrown towards the main road. The 950 acre Hemsted Forest across the road with miles of accessible walks may be more appealing to locals.
Shoal Wood is surrounded by numerous local villages. Further afield, Tunbridge Wells lies to the west and Ashford to the east, the coast is also within easy reach.
Ward is Biddenden and the County Council is Kent.
Boundaries: The boundaries are open on all sides and staked with orange markings. All boundaries follow the main woodland tracks and the public footpath on the northern side.
Access: There is excellent vehicle access via hard track from the main entrance with a locked gate. There is a large parking area inside the main entrance and also plenty of space to park at the entrance to the Shoal Wood.
Viewing: You are welcome to visit this wood by yourself, but please download the details showing the location of the woodland and ensure that you have a copy of these sales details with you. Many of our woodlands do not have mobile phone reception or internet access so we recommend either printing the details or downloading them to your phone or tablet. Please take care when viewing as the great outdoors can contain unexpected hazards and woodlands are no exception.
