    Description
    Woodley Wood lies on the Shotley Peninsula in southeast Suffolk, an area known for its rural character, historic villages and proximity to the Orwell and Stour estuaries. The nearby villages of Holbrook and Tattingstone provide local amenities, while Ipswich, approximately 6 miles to the north, offers a full range of services and mainline rail links to London Liverpool Street.

    The area benefits from excellent recreational opportunities, including sailing and cycling at nearby Alton Water, access to the Rivers Orwell and Stour, and a network of rural walking and riding routes. The woodland is located just outside the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and enjoys a similarly unspoilt landscape setting.

    Location
    Woodley Wood is an attractive block of amenity woodland extending to approximately 29.88 acres (12.09 hectares), situated on the Shotley Peninsula in Suffolk. The woodland occupies a quiet, rural setting while remaining within easy reach of Ipswich and its mainline rail services to London Liverpool Street.

    The property comprises a diverse mix of broadleaf and conifer species of varying age and maturity, with a well‐established broadleaf component including areas of coppiced sweet chestnut. The woodland is predominantly classified as Ancient Semi‐Natural Woodland (asnw), with areas designated as Plantations on an Ancient Woodland Site (paws) following mid‐20th‐century planting.

    Management has been carried out in accordance with an Ancient Woodland Management Plan, focusing on restoration of the semi‐natural character, ecological enhancement and long‐term resilience. The surrounding area offers a range of recreational opportunities, including sailing and cycling at nearby Alton Water and access to the Orwell and Stour estuaries.

    The woodland is offered freehold, for sale as a whole, with vacant possession on completion. There are no services connected to the land, and access is taken directly from Coxhall Road.

    Acreage:
    29.88 Acres
