Bough Wood - SOLD, Hampshire - About 12 acres, £130,000
A fabulous wood, with mature oak, beech and ash trees in profusion. They can readily be enjoyed with easy access from grassy internal tracks
and several clearings in Bough Wood. The wood includes a section of attractive open valley. Along the gently sloping sides of the valley,
butterflies and wild flowers flourish. It is semi-natural ancient woodland in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Where mature trees were
felled for timber some forty yours ago, they were replaced by an interesting mix of ash, oak and beech with occasional cherry, chestnut and
horse chestnut. Quite recent thinning has further opened up the wood allowing more light onto the forest floor. The hazel coppice that was
originally there is still much in evidence, especially beneath the mature trees. Hazel nuts were traditionally known as cob nuts.
A deer fence, with three entry gates (two for vehicles), surrounds the woodland area, protecting the young coppice shoots and ensuring great
privacy. Several low level animal gates are in the fence to enable access for badgers and smaller mammals.
Locality: The nearby parish of Clanfield was part of “The Hundred at Finchdean” at the time of the Domesday Book. Hyden wood, of which
Bough Wood is a part, borders an ancient sheep drovers route along a chalk escarpment providing some of the most glorious views in
Hampshire. Nearby is the Queen Elizabeth II Country Park, with over 1400 acres of woodland to walk in. You can also learn about the
techniques of ancient farming at Butser Farm and visit the countryside learning centre at The Sustainability Centre.
The owner will have vehicle rights along the track marked in green on the maps below.
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.
