Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
- Captivating mixed broadleaf woodland set within the Blackdown Hills AONB
- Practical shed, providing convenient storage and shelter
Upper Harding Wood, nestled within the picturesque Blackdown Hills AONB, is a captivating mixed broadleaf woodland with lots of character.
On higher ground to the south of the site rests a practical shed, providing convenient storage and shelter. This elevated vantage point offers stunning vistas to the north, complemented by flat expanses ideal for establishing a central camp area. With some strategic tree felling, the panoramic views can be further enhanced, accentuating the woodland's elevated positioning. The current owners have thoughtfully cleared and planted a diverse array of young trees and shrubs at this level, navigated by a lovely pathway with grasses underfoot.
The woodland is bordered on all sides by huge woodbanks of veteran oak, beech and hornbeam. Pathways lead in and around the site to reveal a wide variety of tree species including birch, cherry, mountain ash, yew, blackthorn, holly, poplar and holly. From the central area, the site gradually drops down to a second entrance and damper ground with an abundance of ground flora.
The use of this land is for woodland and forestry. If in the next 9 years (to 2033) planning permission is gained for an alternative use then 20% of the uplift in value resulting from a development will be due to a previous owner. This does not affect any 'permitted' developments the wood enjoys. Sporting rights are included.
Ideally located, Upper Harding Wood offers convenient access to amenities, with the market town of Wellington and The Half Moon Inn at Clayhidon within walking distance. Additionally, the wood enjoys proximity to Exmoor National Park to the north, the Devon coast to the south, and easy accessibility to the M5 motorway.
