Saxonbury Wood - SOLD, Essex - About 4 acres, £39,000

Saxonbury wood is made up of a gently sloping gully flanked on the sides by mature trees and lined with a vast array of grasses, sedges, rushes and ferns. A wonderful mix of poplar, oak, hornbeam, silver birch, willow and ash with the occasional conifer trees offers the owner great woodland diversity. The slopes give plenty of areas to enjoy this woodland vista. Saxonbury wood is an excellent example of varied deciduous woodland with lots of native flora.

A haven for wildlife - badgers, muntjac deer and foxes are often seen. A recent survey counted over thirty different birds that inhabit this area including green woodpeckers, wrens and coal tits.

The access track is good and passes alongside the eastern boundary of the wood. Saxonbury wood is surrounded by areas of private woodland giving it a feeling of seclusion yet with the advantage of being very accessible from the road. Conveniently located - just ten minutes from the A12 and 30 miles from the M25.

With excellent local services including pubs and a village store within a short drive, set on gentle slopes this is an ideal wood for family forestry.

Because the woodland is so special it has a tree preservation order on it. This simply protects the woodland and does not prevent woodland management - free guidance is available from the Forestry Commission and other organisations.

The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.

Directions

From the exit of the A12 sign posted Witham go past the petrol station then straight over the round about onto Hatfield road and then after about a quarter of a mile turn right into Maltings lane, continue straight over the round about until you stop at the 'T' junction of Spring lane.

Turn right and continue under the bridge until you come to some part time traffic lights turning left into Blue Mills Hill sign posted Wickam Bishops / Golf Club.

Carry on over the narrow river bridge and up the hill with woodland on your left just before the "no overtaking" sign there is a wooden five bar gate with our sign attached.

Please park to one side of the gate so as not to block the access and safely off the road. Climb over the gate with care and continue along the access track until you reach the wood on your left.
