Wickham Wood - SOLD, Essex - About 3 ¼ acres, £39,000
Wickham Wood has wonderful mix of oak, sweet chestnut, hornbeam, silver birch, willow, hazel, ash and pine with many fine mature examples. As you venture into its depths you will find some attractive open areas in which you can rest and enjoy the woodland. In spring bluebells carpet parts of the woodland making a truly wonderful display.
The woodland has a good understorey in places with mixed patches of bramble and wild flowers providing cover and food for wildlife. Badgers, muntjac deer and foxes are often seen. A recent survey counted over thirty different birds that inhabit this area.
A bench has been built, please take some time sitting here and enjoy the surroundings. Close your eyes and listen to the bird-life, at dawn and dusk it is truly amazing.
Wickham Wood is surrounded by areas of private woodland on three sides giving it a feeling of seclusion, yet Wickham Wood is 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, this is an ideal wood for family forestry.
Because the woodland is so special it has a tree preservation order on it and is protected by the local authority. This simply protects the woodland and does not prevent woodland management - free guidance is available from the Forestry Commission and other organisations.
Particulars and plans were prepared by our local manager, Matt Marples.
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 roundabout 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 Wickham 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.
- Go past this gate and park at the third gate. This is a double wooden gate with a double metal gate 10 meters behind it and runs alongside the first house.
- Please park to one side of the gate so as not to block the access and please watch your safety on the road.
- Climb over the gates with care and continue along the access track. There is a hard standing just past the gates. A ride runs off from this to the right at approximately 45 degrees from the main access track. Walk along this track and after a hundred metres the entrance to Wickham wood is on your right. The woods boundaries are indicated by blue markings.
