FULL DETAILS, BROCHURE AND PLANS AVAILABLE FROM SELLING AGENTS WEBSITE www.tustins.co.uk
Large scale productivity and timber volume in a well roaded and compact package close to traditional sawlog and biomass markets, situated on high fertility well drained soils.  Includes a forest office and firewood processing building which could provide multiple business opportunities for the purchaser.

This forest is ready for a complete change of crops with large scale felling possible along with regenerating new productive crops of any species.  Our forestry expert suggests planning for significant felling and regenerating with new productive conifers and fast growing broadleaves.

Manby & West Wood represents the best of 1950s mixed plantations that has been managed consistently for many decades with the aim of producing timber. This is English forestry at its best. The wood has now reached that point in the rotation where felling and regeneration is likely to produce large quantities of timber income. The current owner has felled timber as part of regular thinning operations as well as felling and replanting a reasonable area.

Close to the main entrance at point A on the sale plan there is a large steel framed firewood processing building. This unique and very high quality building with walls of block and timber slats is secured with shutters over the windows and a high security steel main door. This has ample room to house a substantial firewood processing line and has been utilised for this purpose for several years. Inside the building there is also a ground floor office, toilet, storage room and a large storage/conference room on the 1st floor.

The wood is stocked with a variety of tree species including beech, oak, sycamore, ash and Scots and Corsican pine. Most of these crops are mixtures of conifers and broadleaved species and close to full maturity and standing at heavy volumes per hectare.

Copies of various management documents are available upon request from the Selling Agent. These include:-

- an approved felling licence.
- an approved forest management plan.
- full planning documents for the log processing building.
