A significant area of forestry has come to the market close to the Ashdown Forest in East Sussex.

Funnell’s and Tinkers Woods is a block of mixed conifer and broadleaf woodland extending to about 190 acres, set within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The woods are an equal mix of conifers including Corsican pine, Scots pine, Norway spruce and Douglas fir and broadleaf species including silver birch, oak, ash, beech and sweet chestnut, amongst others.

There is a good hard access track into the woodland as well as a forestry barn, of about 20m x 10m, and hardstanding. There are also a couple of pretty streams running through the woods and a pond, adding to the exceptional amenity of the holding.

Having previously been owned by the Forestry Commission, the woods have been in private ownership since 2010 and are actively managed by English Woodlands Forestry Ltd.

Chris Spofforth, Savills head of rural agency in the south east, said: “Funnell’s and Tinkers Woods offers exceptional amenity and biodiversity appeal. Opportunities to acquire woodland on this scale and in this area are extremely rare.”

Funnell’s and Tinkers Woods is being marketed with a guide price of £1,500,000.
