Description - Brickmoor Plantation comprises a ring-fenced block of mixed oak woodland extending to approximately 15.8 acres (6.41 ha) in all. The woodland has been most recently utilised as a boutique off-grid camping and campervan site, operated as Barhams Woodland Camping. The campsite comprises 13 camping pitches and 3 campervan / motorhome pitches. The campsite is fully equipped with all the facilities required including toilet blocks, gas powered heated showers, washing up area and sheltered reading area. Each individual pitch has been carefully landscaped and considered, offering great privacy and space. The incoming purchaser has the opportunity to take on an established and well reviewed campsite business, historic trading information is available on request.

The woodland has direct access to the adjoining highway, via secure double gates. Upon entering the site, there is a large hardcore parking area, with parking allocated for guests before they access the main campsite via an array of woodchip paths. Included within the business disposal are two contemporary cabins / tiny homes, built by Twt Tiny Homes and designed with a modern-rustic, Scandinavian feel. They have shadow-gap timber cladding, black-framed windows, corrugated metal detailing and corrugated roofing, giving them a clean, attractive and durable external finish. Each cabin sits on a specialist tiny-home trailer and has a footprint of approximately 5.40m long x 2.44m wide x 3.00m high. The cabins are currently blank internal shells, providing a flexible first-fix-ready space for a purchaser to design and fit out to their own requirements. The exterior specification includes A-grade Douglas Fir and Larch cladding, partial corrugated side panels, corrugated roof, black UPVC outward-opening windows and a solid pine stable door. Four-inch sheep’s wool insulation packs are also supplied for the walls and roof, although these have not yet been installed.

The cabins may suit a range of potential uses, subject to any necessary consents, including off-grid camping accommodation, studio space, office accommodation, retreat accommodation or general woodland amenity use.
The remaining woodland remains undeveloped and offers an attractive and peaceful space which may present scope for further development or alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents.
