Quatford Wood is a rare West Midlands offering to the market situated just to the south east of Bridgnorth in Shropshire.  This is a commercial woodland site that offers timber income and continued income generation potential for the future.
Quatford Wood is an ex-Dudmaston Estate woodland that was
planted with a mixture of conifers and natives in the 1950s. The
current owner’s family have owned the forest for the majority of
this time having once owned a house on the edge of the wood.
Many of these trees, which include Scots pine and Douglas fir,
remain today and could be used to generate timber income to
assist with regenerating the woodland for the future.
The current owners have already removed three sections of the
wood in the eastern half of the property and these have all been
replanted with productive conifers including Douglas fir and
some Norway spruce. A new owner could continue maintaining
these for future income.
At the bottom of the valley in the western half of the property is
an area termed by the current owner as “The Cathedral”. This
part of the wood, which is in a deep gully, has encouraged height
growth of the trees. Included here is an area of huge Douglas fir
and equally large native oak which shows the tree growth
potential of the site.
Soils are fertile, well drained sandy loams associated with the
underlying sandstone. As with many steeper sandstone sites
there are a number of sandstone crags on the top edges of some
of the steeper slopes. Under one of these there is a natural cave,
currently fenced off for safety reasons. Visitors to the woodland
need to be aware of this as it is not possible to walk everywhere
in the wood without coming across a few areas of very steep land.
Quatford Wood is classified as a Plantation on an Ancient
Woodland Site (PAWS). This classification does not prevent
reaforestation with conifers but can offer a buyer with intentions
along the lines of native restoration enhanced grant aid.
Access into the wood is easy via a wide gateway at point A on the
sale plan. This access is sufficient for timber extraction vehicles.
The track AB is owned within the woodland’s title but a third
party has the right to use it to access their fields on the southeastern
flank of the wood.
Prospective purchasers should be aware that four small areas of woodland are being sold to adjoining land owners. These sections of
the wood are being marked out and will be re-fenced by each of the purchasers shortly after
conclusion of each of their sales.
