Description

Ridden Copse is surrounded by woodland to all sides. It sits adjacent to a small county road and occupies level and gently sloping ground above the Culme Valley near Uffculme. The market town of Cullompton is 5 miles to the southwest. Junction 27 of the M5 is ten minutes away giving easy access up-country or to Exeter.

The majority of the wood was planted about 15 years ago with a mix of sycamore, beech and Corsican pine, along with minor elements of oak and birch. Towards the roadside boundary there are some older specimens including ash, oak, sweet chestnut and sycamore. The diverse ground flora varies from woodland associates like dog’s mercury, ferns, ivy and woodrush, to grasses and wild flowers in the more open central areas.

Ridden Copse fronts a minor public road and benefits from a full right of access over the hard track that runs along its north-eastern boundary. This could easily be extended into the wood itself if desired.

The woodland occupies the site of a former local tip which was covered, soil capped and then planted with trees - hence the rise in terrain towards the centre. An indemnity policy is in place to cover remediation if ever it were needed.

This compact, private and accessible property presents a delightful package for those venturing into woodland ownership or seeking an affordable sylvan hide-away.


If It Were Mine

The young trees are now well-established, so it’s time to remove the remaining tubes. The central glades are a real feature, so vegetation management would also be on the to-do list, followed by camping and barbeques.
