A rare offering in this part of Cheshire where woodland sales are almost unheard of. The wood is capable of providing timber income in the future as well as opportunities to help with the UK's nature recovery programme in the run-up to net zero in 2050.
Formerly two separate woods but now joined as one, Sherratts
Rough Wood is an exciting offering to the market with
commercial conifers alongside attractive amenity features.
Access is taken at point X on the sale plan and takes the form of a
good solid Forestry Commission built forest road that runs
almost the full length of the wood.
xx
Crops include well-thinned Scots pine and a few Japanese larch
covering approximately two-thirds of the property with native
broadleaves, including birch, alder, ash and oak, occupying the
low-lying wetland in the north section of the wood.
xx
A meandering waterway adds extra interest to the property as
does an old mill race which fills New Pool with water for the old
mill located downstream. The stream could be made into an
attractive feature adding amenity value whilst also delivering
wildlife and nature conservation benefits.
xx
The northern low-lying wetland areas are classified as a Site of
Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), forming part of the Pettypool
Valley SSSI. Management of this area will require discussion with
Natural England prior to works.
2000 Countryside and Rights of Way Act (CRoW):-
The woodland was owned originally by the Forestry Commission.
When the woodland was sold several years ago the FC retained
the right for the public to access the wood for quiet enjoyment on
foot.
