Southroad Wood, Warehorne Road, Woodchurch, Kent TN26

Southroad Wood is situated to the south of Warehorne Road, approximately 1 mile to the south-east of the village of Woodchurch and 4.5 miles to the east of the larger town of Tenterden.

The property comprises a single parcel of mixed broadleaved woodland split into three lots. The woodland is predominantly Lowland Mixed Deciduous Woodland, with mature English oak, sweet chestnut coppice, hornbeam, birch, and alder. The woodland is designated at ancient semi-natural, containing a mix of mature and veteran trees-predominantly 50 to 150 years old. The ground flora includes hazel, bracken, and other native understorey species.

The site has a gentle undulating topography, typical of the local Wealden landscape. Each plot has its own access point with an internal track that are unsealed and natural, suitable for pedestrian or light vehicle access only. There are wooden posts marking the internal boundaries within the woodland that can be seen when walked, however there is no internal fencing. The road frontage is part fenced with the outside boundary largely unfenced. There are two small seasonal ponds and shallow drainage channels within the woodland, which support wetland flora and amphibian habitat.

There is no formal management plan in place for the woodland, having been lightly managed over the years, with some areas of sweet chestnut coppice last worked around 7-50 years ago. There is a public footpath that crosses through all three lots, the route of which can be seen dashed orange on the Boundary Plan within the Property Particulars.
