Rail Wood - SOLD, Kent - 7 ½ acres, £45,000

Rail Wood is quiet, accessible, and well cared for. It is largely chestnut coppice which was last cut only ten or twelve years ago. There are also several mature oaks spreading their branches overhead. It lies within Oakenpole and Limekiln Woods. It is said that this area has been woodland for at least 700 years and there are references to firewood for London being sourced from here in 1274. The woodland lies along a very quiet country lane, with convenient parking at its edge. This is a Planted Site of Ancient Woodland (PAWS) and is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in a Special Landscape Area (SLA). The soil is well drained, being mainly flinty clay overlying chalk.

The owner of Rail Wood will have vehicle rights of way along the tracks on the map marked in green.

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.
