Monkdown Wood (part) offers an opportunity to own an untouched area of Ancient and Semi-Natural Woodland, nestled within the Kent Downs (AONB).
The woodland is largely composed of chestnut coppice, with an understory of hawthorn, young chestnut, beech, birch, cherry, and the occasional veteran oak rising above the canopy.
Having remained largely undisturbed for several years, the wood is dense in places but offers great potential. With some clearing and care, it could become an enchanting retreat. Traces of old woodland paths can still be found, though they are now overgrown. Several small glades and open areas remain, ideal for creating camp bases or enjoying woodland activities.
Boundaries on the north, west, and south sides are currently unmarked and will need to be formally mapped to confirm exact limits. The difficulty of this, due to the woodland’s density, has been reflected in the asking price.
The nearby village of Bredhurst is within easy walking distance and offers a welcoming pub and local shop, while Maidstone lies just a short drive away.
Ward is Boxley Downs, and the County Council is Kent.
Boundaries: The boundary is open on all sides and marked with blue paint to the east bordering Hurstwood Road. N, W, and S the boundary is unmarked and all border neighbouring woodland.
Access: Vehicle access is possible via Hurstwood Road. Parking is possible opposite the woodland near the kissing gate. With some clearing, parking would be possible within the woodland itself.
