line. This is through Portobello Farm from the Biggleswade

daylight hours so long as prospective purchasers are in
possession of a set of these sale particulars. Please be aware
of hazards within the woodland when viewing.
DESCRIPTION
Sutton Wood sits close to the village of Sandy. This historic
town, dating circa 250 BC, derives its name from the old
English meaning Sand Island. This is a character that has
remained essentially unchanged.
The gentle west facing topography of the wood provides an
easy to traverse landscape either by foot or machine. There
are several open tracks that divide the wood and aid access
throughout.
The species mix comprises mixed conifers and broadleaf
crops including Scots pine, Japanese larch, birch, oak with
small areas of sweet chestnut and beech.
On the western side of the property is an area which was
felled about 3 years ago. This was replanted with mixed
broadleaves.
Cambridge 20 miles
The amenity uses of this wood are well served by its relatively
secluded location and private feel. In the south-eastern corner
of compartment 4b is a small but rather picturesque pond.

TAXATION
After two years ownership, commercially managed woods
qualify for 100% relief from Inheritance Tax. Timber sales are
free of all Income Tax and do not attract Capital Gains Tax. In
certain circumstances it is possible to roll-over Capital Gains
into the proportion of the purchase price attributable to the
value of the land.
SPORTING RIGHTS
The sporting rights are owned and included in the sale. They
are let until 1st February 2016. The rent has been paid in
advance and will not be apportioned on completion.
The Scots pine is mature and has been well thinned. Should
the purchaser choose, some felling may be completed
subject to an application to the Forestry Commission for a
felling licence.
MINERAL RIGHTS
These are owned and included except where excluded by
statute.
The southernmost part of compartment 2 is subject to a
Tree Preservation Order (TPO) imposed by Biggleswade
District Council. A TPO protects the woodland from being
cleared but normal forest operations are regulated by the
Forestry Commission.
FENCING
The woodland owner is responsible for maintaining stockproof
fences on the boundaries shown with inward facing ‘T’ marks
on the sale plan.
